religiosity = religious (transparent) = religi + osity
Formed from the adjective 'religious' with a regular nominalizing suffix (realized orthographically as '-osity'), so the quality/state meaning is predictable.
Etymology
The word religiosity comes from religion, which is from the Latin religio meaning 'care' or 'respect for the sacred'. Some people also connect it to religare meaning 'to bind', and that helps explain why religiosity means a strong religious feeling or a close tie to faith.
