Morphology
inconformity = conformity (transparent) = in + conform + ity
The meaning is directly derived by adding the negative prefix 'in-' to 'conformity' to mean lack of conformity.
Etymology
Inconformity is built from in- meaning 'not' and conformity, which is about being the 'same form' or following a rule—think of uniform, where everyone looks the same. So inconformity means 'not in agreement' or not following a rule.
