Morphology
postmodernity = postmodern (transparent) = post + modern + ity
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the clearly analyzable adjective 'postmodern', producing the abstract noun meaning 'the condition after modernity'.
Etymology
Postmodernity starts with post- meaning 'after' and uses modern meaning 'new' or 'recent', the same post- you see in postwar or postgraduate. So postmodernity is the time 'after modern' when people often question old ideas and see culture as made of many different, mixed parts.
