Morphology
consequentiality = consequential (semi-transparent) = consequence + al + ity
The step from 'consequential' to 'consequentiality' is a straightforward nominalization using the productive suffix '-ity'.
Etymology
Consequentiality comes from consequence, which at first meant 'something that follows' or a 'result' and later came to mean 'importance'. That's why consequentiality can mean the quality of acting as if you are very important.
