Morphology
procreativity = creativity (semi-transparent) = pro + create + ivity
The prefix 'pro-' suggests forward or in favor, but the specific biological meaning is not entirely predictable.
Etymology
Procreativity is also linked to procreate ('to produce offspring') and create ('to make'), so it brings to mind the act of making new life and can mean the ability to have children.
