Morphology
integrity = integral (transparent) = integr + ity
This sense ('state of being whole or undivided') is a straightforward nominalization of the base idea of 'whole' and is directly derivable.
Etymology
The word integrity comes from the Latin word integer, meaning 'whole', and is the same root as integral and integer. So when we talk about the structural integrity of a building or the integrity of data, we mean it is 'whole' and not broken or changed.
