Morphology
directionality = directional (transparent) = direction + al + ity
Formed by adding -ity to 'directional'; the sense 'sensitivity or responsiveness in a particular direction' is a predictable nominalization of the adjective.
Etymology
Directionality comes from the word direction 'to point' and the ending -ality 'quality of', and a helpful image is a microphone that listens more from one side than the others. So directionality means the 'quality of' being more sensitive or responsive in a particular direction.
