Morphology

classicality = classical (transparent) = classic + al + ity

The noun is formed by adding '-ity' to 'classical'; the sense in logic/theory follows predictably from the adjective.

Etymology

Classicality comes from classical (and classic), a word that means 'traditional' or 'standard' from the idea of the 'first class'. So when we talk about classicality in logic or theory, we mean how much a system follows the usual, traditional rules instead of newer approaches.
