Morphology

cubicity = cubic (transparent) = cube + ic + ity

A standard nominalization of the adjective 'cubic' by adding '-ity' to indicate the quality or state, accessible to learners who know 'cubic'.

Etymology

Cubicity comes from the simple word cube, a 'box with six equal square sides', and the ending -ity, which means 'the quality or state of something'. So cubicity is 'the quality of resembling a cube', which is why we use it to describe cube-like shapes.
