Morphology
identify = identity (transparent) = ident + ify
The verb is formed by attaching '-ify' to the identity-related base; the meaning 'establish or recognise identity' is directly predictable from the base.
Etymology
The word identify comes from Latin parts idem 'same' and facere 'to make', so it originally meant 'to make the same'. Think of it like matching a thing to its identity, so to identify something is to recognize or name what it is.
