Morphology

immanency = immanent (transparent) = immanent + cy

The word 'immanency' is clearly derived from the adjective 'immanent' by adding the suffix '-cy', indicating a state or condition.

Etymology

Immanency comes from Latin parts in- 'in' and manere 'to stay', the same root as remain. So, immanency is the idea of something 'staying inside' or being part of a thing rather than coming from outside.
