Morphology

juiciness = juicy (transparent) = juice + y + ness

Formed from the adjective 'juicy' + the noun-forming suffix '-ness'; the meaning 'the quality of being juicy' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Juiciness comes from the common word juice plus the ending -ness that makes a word for a quality, and juice originally meant 'broth' or 'liquid'. So juiciness is the quality of being full of tasty liquid, which is why juicy food feels moist and flavorful.
