Morphology

activity = active (transparent) = act + ive + ity

Built by regular nominalization of 'active'; the computing sense (a log of actions) is a predictable extension.

Etymology

Activity comes from the root act meaning 'to do', and that makes it easy to think of things people do. So in computing, an activity record is simply a list of a user's actions on a device or website.
