Morphology
triangularity = triangular (transparent) = triangle + ar + ity
Derived by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'triangular', so the relation is straightforward.
Etymology
Triangularity comes from tri- meaning 'three' and angle meaning 'corner', just like in the common word triangle. So, triangularity means the quality of having three corners or being shaped like a triangle.
