Morphology
virtuosity = virtuoso (transparent) = virtuos + ity
Formed by a regular abstract-noun suffix '-ity' from the recognizable base 'virtuoso', so the meaning 'quality of virtuoso skill' is predictable from the base.
Etymology
The word virtuosity comes from the Italian virtuoso, a name for a very skilled artist, and that goes back to the Latin virtus, meaning 'excellence' or 'strength', the same root as the English word virtue ('good quality'). So, virtuosity means showing great skill and excellence, especially in music and art.
