Morphology
responsivity = responsive (transparent) = response + ive + ity
Clearly formed from 'responsive' + '-ity' meaning the degree or state of being responsive; this general sense is directly derivable.
Etymology
Responsivity comes from the root respond, which means 'to answer', and is related to the words response and responsive. It describes how quickly or how strongly a person or device 'answers' a change, so high responsivity means a fast or strong reaction.
