Morphology
functionality = functional (semi-transparent) = function + al + ity
The word is built regularly from 'functional' plus '-ity', but the specific sense 'range of operations or features' is somewhat specialized.
Etymology
Functionality starts with function, which comes from an old word meaning 'to do' or 'to perform', and ends with -ality, a part that means the 'state' or 'quality' of something. So functionality simply means the set of things a device or app can 'do' — its features.
