Morphology

robusticity = robust (transparent) = robust + icity

Formed by a predictable nominalizing suffix attached to 'robust', yielding 'the quality of being robust' which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Robusticity comes from the common word robust ('strong'), from the old Latin root robur meaning 'oak' or 'strength'. So, like an oak that stands against the wind, robusticity means the quality of being durable and able to stand stress without failing.
