Morphology
hemisphericity = hemispheric (transparent) = hemi + sphere + ic + ity
Derived by adding '-ity' to 'hemispheric', so it denotes the quality or condition of being hemispheric or hemispherical in shape.
Etymology
Hemisphericity comes from hemisphere, where hemi- means 'half' and sphere means 'ball', so it literally means 'half a sphere'. So hemisphericity can describe the quality of being half‑spherical, like the shape of a dome or a bowl.
