tastiness

/ˈteɪstinəs/ noun

The quality of being tasty.

Word Origin Tastiness comes from taste, which goes back to Latin taxare 'to evaluate, handle, touch' — the idea that tasting is a way of touching and judging food. The -y makes it 'full of taste,' and -ness turns it into a noun. So tastiness is the quality of being touchable-by-the-tongue delicious. The same root gives us tangible (touchable) and tax (originally an assessment, a touching of value).
