Morphology

zonality = zonal (transparent) = zone + al + ity

Formed from 'zonal' + '-ity' to mean the state or quality of being zonal, which is directly derived and readily understood from the base.

Etymology

Zonality comes from zone ('area' or 'band') and the ending -ality, so it simply means being arranged in separate zones or bands, which is why we use it for climate, soil, or plant patterns that form clear zones.
