Morphology

hemisphericity = hemispheric (transparent) = hemi + sphere + ic + ity

Standard nominalization from 'hemispheric' using '-ity', yielding 'the state or quality of being hemispheric'.

Etymology

Hemisphericity comes from the word hemisphere, with hemi- 'half' and sphere 'ball', which brings to mind 'half of the globe'. So hemisphericity can mean something that belongs to or affects one half of the world, like the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.
