Morphology
individuality = individual (transparent) = individual + ity
The noun is a standard nominalization of the adjective 'individual' with the productive suffix '-ity', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Individuality comes from individual, which is built from in- ('not') and divide ('to separate'), so it originally meant a single, separate person. So, individuality now means the special qualities that make someone different from others.
