Morphology

entirety = entire (transparent) = entire + ty

Clear, regular noun formation from the adjective 'entire' with the productive suffix '-ty' to denote the state or quality of being whole.

Etymology

The word entirety comes from the old Latin word integer, which means 'whole' or 'untouched', and is the same root you see in entire and integer. So, entirety means the whole of something, complete and not divided.
