Morphology
fidelity = faith (semi-transparent) = fidel + ity
The word is formed with the suffix '-ity' meaning a state or quality, and its meaning (accuracy of reproduction) extends from the general idea of 'faithfulness', but the stem 'fidel-' is not phonologically identical to the common English 'faith', making the relation somewhat indirect for learners.
Etymology
The word fidelity comes from the Latin fidelis, meaning 'faithful', and from the root fid-, 'to trust', just like in faithful and confide. So, in audio, fidelity is the 'faithfulness' of sound, meaning how closely it copies the original.
