Morphology
longevity = long (semi-transparent) = longev + ity
The sense 'length of time in a job' is an extension of 'long' (long duration), but the stem change and Latinate formation (longev- + -ity) make the derivation less transparent.
Etymology
Longevity also breaks down into long and age, meaning 'long time', so it can mean staying for a long time in a job, position, or organisation.
