Morphology
integrity = integral (semi-transparent) = integr + ity
The moral meaning 'honesty' is a metaphorical extension of 'wholeness' (integral), so learners who know the base may not reliably infer the ethical sense.
Etymology
The word integrity comes from the Latin word integer, which means 'whole', and it shares the same root as integral and integer. So to have integrity is to be morally 'whole'—your principles are not broken, which is why the word means honesty and strong moral character.
