Morphology
conceptuality = conceptual (transparent) = concept + ual + ity
The step from 'conceptual' to 'conceptuality' is a regular noun formation using the productive suffix '-ity', yielding 'the state or quality of being conceptual'.
Etymology
Conceptuality comes from concept, which comes from a Latin word meaning 'to form an idea' and is the same idea behind the English word conceive. So, conceptuality is the quality of being based on ideas rather than on things you can touch.
