Morphology

associability = associable (transparent) = associate + able + ity

Formed by a regular adjectival base 'associable' + the nominalizing suffix '-ity', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Associability comes from the verb associate, which has the root soci- meaning 'companion' or 'friend' and is the same root in social and society. So, associability is the quality of being easy to join or connect, like ideas that can 'make friends' in your mind.
