Morphology

sociosexuality = sociosexual (semi-transparent) = socio + sexual + ity

Formed from socio- + sexual + -ity, the meaning is compositionally clear, but the combining form 'socio-' is somewhat technical and may be unfamiliar to average learners.

Etymology

Sociosexuality comes from socio- meaning 'social', as in social or society, and sexuality meaning 'sex life' or 'sexual feelings'. So, for a person the word describes how open they are to casual, non‑committed sexual relationships.
