Morphology
infidelity = fidelity (semi-transparent) = in + fidel + ity
The prefix 'in-' clearly negates 'fidelity', but the common sense 'sexual or relational unfaithfulness' is a narrower and more specific use than the fully general meaning 'lack of fidelity'.
Etymology
The word infidelity comes from in- meaning 'not' and fidelity meaning 'faithfulness', which is like the word 'faith'. So infidelity literally means 'not faithful', and that is why it describes being unfaithful to a partner.
