Morphology

limpidity = limpid (transparent) = limpid + ity

The noun is a regular nominalization of the adjective 'limpid' with the productive suffix '-ity', so the meaning is directly derived from 'limpid'.

Etymology

Limpidity comes from the Latin limpidus, which means 'clear', and it shares the same root as the English word limpid. So limpidity in writing or thought means being easy to understand and free from confusion.
