Morphology
thermostability = thermostable (semi-transparent) = thermo + stable + ity
The noun is formed regularly from the adjective 'thermostable' with the standard suffix '-ity' to denote a state or quality.
Etymology
The word thermostability joins thermo- meaning 'heat', as in thermometer, and stability from stable meaning 'not changing'. So, thermostability means the ability of something to stay the same and not break or change when it becomes hot.
