Morphology
endogeneity = endogenous (semi-transparent) = endogen + eity
The word is derived from 'endogenous' with the suffix '-ity', but the specific technical meaning in economics may not be obvious to all learners.
Etymology
The word endogeneity comes from endo- 'within' and -geny 'origin', the same root you see in generate and generation. So endogeneity describes something that begins inside a system, or when cause and effect come from the same internal process.
