Morphology
inoperability = inoperable (semi-transparent) = in + oper + able + ity
This is a regular noun formation from the adjective 'inoperable' using the standard suffix '-ity'.
Etymology
The word inoperability comes from in- 'not' and operate 'to work', the same root as operation. So inoperability means 'not able to work together' or 'not able to function with another system'.
