Morphology
immateriality = immaterial (transparent) = im + material + ity
The noun form 'immateriality' is clearly derived from the adjective 'immaterial', indicating a state or quality.
Etymology
Immateriality comes from the parts in- 'not' and material 'matter', where 'matter' can also mean 'what is important', so it can mean 'not important to the issue'. That is why a judge might call evidence immaterial: it simply does not matter to the case.
