Morphology
inconvertibility = inconvertible (semi-transparent) = in + convert + ible + ity
This is a standard noun formation from the adjective 'inconvertible' meaning the state or quality of being inconvertible.
Etymology
Inconvertibility breaks into in- 'not' and convert 'to change'. You can see the same root in the word convertible (something that can change), so inconvertibility is the state of 'not being able to be changed or exchanged', often used for money or tickets that cannot be swapped.
