Morphology

appealingness = appealing (transparent) = appeal + ing + ness

The adjective 'appealing' plus the productive nominalizer '-ness' yields a straightforward noun meaning 'the quality of being appealing'.

Etymology

Appealingness comes from the verb appeal, which originally meant 'to call' or 'to call to someone', so something 'appealing' is like a thing that 'calls to you' and draws your interest. Adding -ing and -ness turns that into 'the quality of being attractive', which is why appealingness means how attractive or pleasing something is.
