Morphology

juvenility = juvenile (transparent) = juvenile + ity

Derived by the regular noun-forming suffix '-ity' from the adjective 'juvenile', yielding 'the quality or freshness typical of youth'.

Etymology

Juvenility comes from the Latin root juven- which means 'young'. Like juvenile, it can also mean the fresh energy and hope of youth, so juvenility can describe a lively, youthful spirit.
