Morphology
indemnity = indemnify (opaque) = indemn + ity
Although formed with the productive suffix '-ity' from a Latin-derived base, the root 'indemn-' is not a recognizable English morpheme and the meaning 'compensation/exemption from liability' is not transparently inferable from its parts for average learners.
Etymology
Indemnity comes from the Latin parts in- 'not' and a root like damage 'harm or loss', so it originally meant 'not harmed'. So, indemnity can mean legal or insurance protection that keeps you from having to pay for a loss.
