Morphology

nudity = nude (transparent) = nude + ity

The noun 'nudity' is transparently derived from the adjective 'nude' with the suffix '-ity' indicating a state or condition.

Etymology

Nudity comes from the Latin word nudus, which means 'bare' or 'naked', and you can see the same root in the English word nude. The ending -ity turns it into the 'state of' something, so nudity means the state of being without clothes.
