Morphology
consequentiality = consequential (transparent) = consequence + al + ity
The nominalization from the adjective 'consequential' (having significant results) to the noun with '-ity' is regular and directly meaningful.
Etymology
Consequentiality comes from consequence, a word that means 'a result' or 'what follows', and consequential came to mean having serious results or 'importance'. So consequentiality is the quality of having significant or important results.
