Morphology
admissibility = admissible (transparent) = admit + ible + ity
Standard nominalization of the adjective 'admissible' by '-ity' yielding 'the quality of being admissible', a directly derived abstract noun.
Etymology
Admissibility comes from the common word admit ('to let in' or 'allow') and from Latin parts ad- 'to' and mittere 'send', the same root behind admission. So, admissibility is about whether something can be 'let in' or 'accepted', for example whether a judge will accept a piece of evidence.
