Morphology
annuity = annual (semi-transparent) = ann + ity
The form links to 'annual'/'year', but 'annuity' is a specialized financial/legal term (a fixed payment), so learners may not infer the precise financial meaning from the base alone.
Etymology
Annuity comes from the Latin annus, meaning 'year', and is the same root as annual. So an annuity originally meant a yearly payment and now means a regular, fixed sum paid for a set time.
