eternality = eternal (transparent) = eternal + ity

Formed regularly from the adjective 'eternal' + the noun-forming suffix '-ity', so the meaning 'quality of being eternal' is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word eternality comes from the Latin word aeternus, which means 'everlasting' or 'without end' and is the same idea behind the English word eternal. So, eternality is the quality of lasting 'forever'.
