Morphology
transcendency = transcendent (transparent) = transcend + ency
Formed by a standard nominalization of 'transcendent' with '-ency', so the meaning is directly the state of being transcendent.
Etymology
The word transcendency comes from the parts trans- meaning 'beyond' and -scend meaning 'to climb', the same root you see in transcend. So, think of it as 'climbing beyond' normal limits, which is why it means being above ordinary experience.
