Morphology

digestibleness = digestible (transparent) = digest + ible + ness

Formed by regular suffixation from 'digestible' (digest + -ible) with the noun-forming '-ness'; meaning directly follows from 'digestible'.

Etymology

Digestibleness comes from the word digest, which means 'to break down food', plus the endings -ible ('able') and -ness ('the quality of'). So, digestibleness is the 'quality of being easy to digest', or how easily food is broken down in your stomach.
