Morphology
degeneracy = degenerate (semi-transparent) = degenerate + acy
Formally a nominalization of 'degenerate', but the scientific/mathematical sense is specialized and not directly deducible by general learners from the adjective.
Etymology
Degeneracy comes from the parts de- 'down' and genus 'kind', which you also find in generation and gene. In science and math, that idea helps: different states are not different kinds but the same, so they share one value or level.
