Morphology

finity = finite (transparent) = finite + y

The noun denotes the state or quality of being 'finite' and is directly derived from the adjective 'finite' with a nominalizing suffix, so its meaning is predictable.

Etymology

Finity comes from the Latin word finis, which means 'end' or 'limit', and is the same idea behind the common English word finite. So, finity means the state of having limits or an end, like a fence that marks the edge of a playground.
