Morphology
reproductivity = reproductive (semi-transparent) = re + produce + ive + ity
This is a standard noun formation from the adjective 'reproductive' meaning the quality of being reproductive in this sense.
Etymology
Reproductivity comes from the parts re- 'again' and produce 'to make', like in repeat or reproduce. So in science it means how well a test or experiment can be 'made again' and give the same results.
