Morphology

incorruptness = incorrupt (semi-transparent) = in + corrupt + ness

The morphological build is literal ('not corrupt' + '-ness'), but the computing sense (data immutability) is a domain-specific extension of 'corruption', so it may be less obvious to learners unfamiliar with technical usage.

Etymology

Incorruptness comes from in- meaning 'not' and corrupt meaning 'spoiled' or 'broken', the same root you see in rupture which means 'break'. So in computing incorruptness means data or files that cannot be changed or tampered with and therefore keep their original form.
