Morphology

mintiness = minty (transparent) = mint + y + ness

Formed from the adjective 'minty' with the productive nominalizing suffix '-ness', so the meaning is directly derived from 'mint'.

Etymology

Mintiness comes from the herb mint, whose old Greek name was menthe, and the ending -ness means 'quality' or 'state'. So, mintiness is the 'quality' of tasting or smelling like mint.
