interconnectivity = connectivity (transparent) = inter + connect + ivity
Formed by prefixing 'inter-' (between) to 'connectivity' (the state of being connected), so the overall meaning is directly inferable from the parts.
Etymology
Interconnectivity comes from the prefix inter- meaning 'between' and the word connect meaning 'join', like in internet where many links meet. So, interconnectivity is about how well different systems or devices can 'join' and share information.
