generativity = generative (semi-transparent) = generate + ive + ity
Formed by adding '-ity' to 'generative' (generate → generative → generativity); the psychological sense is specialized and not fully predictable from everyday 'generate'.
Etymology
Generativity comes from the same root as generate and generation, from an old Latin word meaning 'birth' or 'kind'. A helpful image is sharing skills and care with those who come after you, so generativity means caring for and guiding the next generation.
