Morphology
nonsensicality = nonsensical (transparent) = non + sense + ical + ity
Formed by the regular noun-forming suffix '-ity' from the adjective 'nonsensical', a productive and semantically clear derivation.
Etymology
Nonsensicality comes from non- 'not', the word sense 'meaning', and the ending -ity that makes a word into a 'state' or 'quality'. So, nonsensicality means the state of 'not making sense', which is why it describes something that lacks meaning or logic.
