Morphology
viceroyalty = viceroyal (semi-transparent) = vice + royal + ty
The final step is a regular noun formation from the adjective 'viceroyal' (+ -ty), but 'viceroyal' itself combines 'vice-' + 'royal', which may be unfamiliar to some learners.
Etymology
The word viceroyalty comes from vice- meaning 'in place of', as in vice-president, and royalty from 'royal', meaning 'king or queen'. So a viceroyalty is the area ruled by a viceroy, someone who governs 'in place of' the king or queen.
