Morphology
nebulosity = nebulous (transparent) = nebul + ous + ity
Built from 'nebulous' + '-ity'; the abstract sense 'vagueness' is the common adjectival meaning converted into a noun by a standard suffix.
Etymology
Nebulosity comes from the Latin word nebula meaning 'mist' or 'cloud' and is like the word nebulous. So nebulosity can also mean a 'cloudy' or unclear quality, which is why we use it for vague ideas or explanations.
