Morphology
perceptuality = perceptual (semi-transparent) = percept + ual + ity
Formed by adding the productive noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'perceptual', yielding the quality or state of being perceptual.
Etymology
Perceptuality comes from perception and perceive, which come from an old root meaning 'take in'. So, think of perception as 'taking in' sights and sounds, and perceptuality is the quality of how we organize and understand what we sense.
