Morphology

verdancy = verdant (transparent) = verdant + ancy

A regular noun-forming derivation from the adjective 'verdant' meaning 'the quality or state of being green'.

Etymology

Verdancy comes from the Latin root viridis, which means 'green', and it is the same root behind words like verdant and the Spanish word 'verde'. So verdancy means the 'greenness' or rich green growth of plants.
