Morphology
hyperactivity = hyperactive (transparent) = hyper + act + ive + ity
The noun is regularly formed from the adjective 'hyperactive' with the suffix '-ity'.
Etymology
Hyperactivity comes from the Greek part hyper- meaning 'over' or 'too much' and the word activity meaning 'movement' or 'action'. So it means 'too much movement', which is why we use it for people, often children, who are unusually restless or energetic.
