hydrostaticity singular

Morphology

hydrostaticity = hydrostatic (transparent) = hydro + static + ity

This is a regular noun formation from the adjective 'hydrostatic' using the suffix '-ity'.

Etymology

Hydrostaticity comes from Greek parts hydro- meaning 'water' (as in hydroelectric) and static meaning 'standing' or 'not moving' (as in static electricity). So hydrostaticity describes the condition of a fluid that is not moving and the pressure that such still water or liquids produce.
