Morphology

immortality = immortal (transparent) = im + mortal + ity

Built from 'immortal' + '-ity'; although applied to technological scenarios, the morphological derivation remains direct.

Etymology

Immortality comes from the Latin pieces in- 'not' and mortalis 'death', and the same root appears in mortal. Today the word is also used for digital ideas where saving a person's memories or identity tries to make them seem 'not dead' after their body dies.
