Morphology

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

'Organ' -> 'organic' is a regular adjective formation and adding '-ity' yields a noun indicating a property or amount; the chain is morphologically regular.

Etymology

Organicity comes from organic, which means 'from living things' and is the same root as organism. So, organicity can mean the amount of 'living' or once-living material in soil or water, the stuff that shows how much life is there.
