Morphology

dimensionality = dimensional (transparent) = dimension + al + ity

Formed by adding the productive suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'dimensional' (itself clearly from 'dimension' + '-al'), producing a noun meaning 'the quality or property of being dimensional', which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Dimensionality comes from dimension, which is built on the simple idea of measure meaning 'to measure'. A dimension is a direction or size, like length, width, or height, so dimensionality is the property of having a certain number of these measures.
