gratitude = grateful (transparent) = grat + tude

Etymology
Gratitude comes from the Latin words gratia ('thanks' or 'favor') and gratus ('pleasing') and shares the same root as grace and grateful. So, gratitude is the warm, thankful feeling you have when something pleases you and you want to say 'thank you'.
