Morphology
reflectivity = reflective (transparent) = reflect + ive + ity
Formed from 'reflect' -> 'reflective' + '-ity'; the noun straightforwardly denotes the quality of being reflective (thoughtful).
Etymology
Reflectivity comes from the parts re- 'back' and flect 'bend', the same root you see in reflect. So when it means thoughtfulness, reflectivity is the ability to 'bend your mind back' and think carefully about your own ideas.
