Morphology
anonymity = anonymous (transparent) = anonym + ity
Formed by standard noun derivation from the adjective 'anonymous' with '-ity', meaning 'the state of being anonymous'.
Etymology
Anonymity comes from two parts: an- meaning 'not' and onym meaning 'name', the same onym you see in synonym. So anonymity is the state of having 'no name' or keeping your name or identity hidden.
