Morphology

sexuality = sexual (transparent) = sexual + ity

The noun 'sexuality' is transparently derived from the adjective 'sexual' by adding the suffix '-ity', indicating a state or quality.

Etymology

Sexuality comes from the base sex and an old Latin word sexus meaning 'male or female', with the ending -ity meaning 'state or quality'. So sexuality also means a person's sexual feelings, who they are attracted to, and how they show their sexual identity.
