Morphology

fattiness = fatty (transparent) = fat + y + ness

Formed by adding '-ness' to the adjective 'fatty' to indicate the quality; this is a regular, predictable derivation.

Etymology

Fattiness comes from the common word fat and the ending -ness, which means 'state' or 'quality'. So fattiness is the 'state of having fat' or 'the amount of fat' something has, which is why we use it for rich sauces or a juicy steak.
