Morphology
intelligibility = intelligible (transparent) = intelligible + ity
Standard noun formed from the adjective 'intelligible' using the noun-forming suffix '-ity', with an orthographic adjustment, so meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Intelligibility comes from an old Latin word intelligere, which means 'to understand' and includes the root legere meaning 'to read', the same root you find in English words like legible and intelligent. So, intelligibility is the quality of being 'able to be understood', which is why we use it for how clear speech or writing is.
