Morphology

voluminosity = voluminous (transparent) = voluminous + ity

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'voluminous', producing the noun meaning 'the quality of being voluminous'.

Etymology

Voluminosity comes from the familiar word volume, meaning 'size' or 'amount of space', plus the ending -osity that makes a noun, and it is like voluminous, which means 'very large or full'. So, voluminosity is the quality of being very large in bulk.
