Morphology

actability = actable (transparent) = act + able + ity

Built by a regular two-step derivation: act + -able -> 'actable' (capable/suitable to be acted), then + -ity yields 'capacity/quality of being actable', so the meaning follows standard English morphology.

Etymology

Actability combines act ('to do') and -ability ('can' or 'quality of being'), so it means the 'can-do' quality of being able to act. That's why it refers to the power or capacity to take action or to act effectively.
