Morphology

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

Formed from socio- + sexual + -ity; conceptually clear but somewhat technical due to the combining form 'socio-'.

Etymology

Sociosexuality comes from socio- meaning 'social', as in social or society, and sexuality meaning 'sex life' or 'sexual feelings'. So, for a society the word describes how much a culture accepts or allows casual sexual relationships.
