Morphology

optionality = optional (transparent) = option + al + ity

Forming a noun from the adjective 'optional' with the regular suffix '-ity' creates a clear nominal meaning 'the state or quality of being optional'.

Etymology

The word optionality comes from option, a word that means 'choice', plus the ending -ity that marks a 'state' or quality, and it is closely related to the verb opt, which means 'to choose'. So, optionality means the 'state' of having choices or the possibility to choose among different options.
