Morphology
immunogenicity = immunogenic (semi-transparent) = immuno + gen + ic + ity
The noun is formed regularly from the adjective immunogenic by adding the suffix -ity.
Etymology
Immunogenicity is made of immune, meaning the body's defence or 'protected', plus genic, a root that means 'to produce' like in generate, and -ity, which means 'the quality of'. So immunogenicity is the 'quality of producing' an 'immune response', or simply how likely something is to make the body's defence react.
