Morphology

sapidity = sapid (semi-transparent) = sapid + ity

Formally a regular noun from the adjective 'sapid' + '-ity', but 'sapid' is rare and unfamiliar to many learners, reducing immediate recognizability.

Etymology

Sapidity comes from the Latin sapidus, which means 'tasty', and from sapere 'to taste'. So sapidity is the quality of having a strong, pleasant flavor, and the word insipid shows the opposite by meaning 'without taste'.
