Morphology

correlativity = correlative (transparent) = correlate + ive + ity

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'correlative', producing the abstract quality 'the state of being correlative'.

Etymology

Correlativity comes from cor- meaning 'together' and relate meaning 'to connect', the same root you see in relation and relative. So, correlativity is the quality of things being connected or having a mutual relationship.
