Morphology
nontriviality = nontrivial (transparent) = non + trivial + ity
Forming a noun from the adjective 'nontrivial' with the productive suffix '-ity' yields the expected meaning 'the quality of being nontrivial'.
Etymology
The word nontriviality comes from non- meaning 'not' and trivial meaning 'simple' or 'unimportant', like the everyday word trivia for small facts. So nontriviality means 'not simple' — something important or complex that needs real work, which is why people use it for hard or meaningful problems.
