Morphology

addressability = addressable (transparent) = address + ity

Derived from 'addressable' + '-ity'; the technical sense 'capability of individual identification and access' is a direct extension of 'able to be addressed'.

Etymology

Addressability comes from address ('a place to reach') plus -able ('can be') and -ity ('quality'), so it literally means the quality of being 'able to be addressed'. That's why in technology it describes devices or memory cells that can be found and accessed one by one, like each house with its own address.
