Morphology

organicity = organic (semi-transparent) = organ + ic + ity

Formally 'organic' + '-ity' is a regular derivation; the morphological relation is clear even though the sense here is metaphorical.

Etymology

Organicity comes from organ, a word for a 'part' that works with other parts and the same root as organize. So, organicity describes a natural, united way of developing or working, where everything fits together rather than being forced.
