Morphology
quality = qual + ity
The noun shows the suffix '-ity' but the lexical base is not a recognizable modern English word, so the meaning cannot be transparently derived by learners from component parts.
Etymology
Quality comes from the Latin qualis 'of what kind', and the same root is in qualify, which is to meet a certain standard. So quality can mean the degree or standard of something — how good or valuable it is.
