transparency = transparent (transparent) = transparent + cy
This abstract noun is a straightforward derivation from the adjective 'transparent' meaning 'clear' or 'easy to understand'.
Etymology
The word transparency comes from trans- 'through' and parere 'to appear', which gives a nice image of things 'showing through'. That's why we call an action or decision transparent when it is open and easy to see or understand.
