Morphology
intellectuality = intellectual (transparent) = intellect + ual + ity
Formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ity' to the clear adjective 'intellectual', yielding the state/quality of being intellectual.
Etymology
The word intellectuality comes from intellect plus the ending -ity, and is related to intelligent and intelligence, all from a root that means 'to understand'. So, intellectuality is the 'quality' of having a developed mind and enjoying deep thinking.
