Morphology

incorruptibility = incorruptible (semi-transparent) = in + corrupt + ible + ity

This is a standard noun formation from the adjective 'incorruptible' meaning the quality or state of having that property.

Etymology

Incorruptibility comes from the parts in- 'not' and corrupt 'to spoil', with the root rupt meaning 'to break'. So in computing incorruptibility means data that cannot be 'spoiled' or changed and stays the same, making records safe from tampering.
