jazziness = jazzy (transparent) = jazz + y + ness

Regular derivation: 'jazz' -> 'jazzy' (adjective with -y) -> 'jazziness' (noun with -ness), so the meaning is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

Jazziness comes from the word jazz (the lively American music style from the early 1900s) plus -ness which means 'state or quality'. One helpful way to remember jazz is that it came to mean 'energy' and 'style'—you also hear it in the phrase 'jazz up' meaning to make something more exciting. So, jazziness is the quality of being lively or stylish.
