Morphology
incompatibility = incompatible (transparent) = in + compatible + ity
This is a regular noun formation from the adjective 'incompatible' meaning 'the state of being incompatible'.
Etymology
Incompatibility comes from the prefix in- meaning 'not' and compatible meaning 'able to exist or work together'. So incompatibility is when things cannot work together, like two software programs that cause system crashes.
