Morphology

washiness = washy (transparent) = wash + y + ness

The noun is a straightforward nominalization of the adjective 'washy' (wash + -y) with '-ness' marking the quality or state.

Etymology

Washiness comes from the verb wash and the ending -ness, giving the image of something 'washed' until it is thin. So washiness means being 'watery' or lacking richness, like weak coffee or a thin sauce.
