Morphology

limpidity = limpid (transparent) = limpid + ity

The word 'limpidity' is transparently derived from 'limpid' by adding the suffix '-ity' to form a noun indicating a state or quality.

Etymology

Limpidity comes from the Latin limpidus, which means 'clear', and it is the same root as the simple word limpid used for clear water. So limpidity for glass or a lake means being transparent and easy to see through.
