Morphology
incorporeality = incorporeal (semi-transparent) = in + corpore + al + ity
This is a standard and semantically clear noun formation from the adjective 'incorporeal', meaning the state or quality of being incorporeal.
Etymology
Incorporeality is made of in- 'not' and corpus 'body', like in corpse. So, incorporeality means 'without a physical body', which is why we use it for ghosts or for ideas like justice and love.
