Etymology
The word coachability starts with coach, which first meant a carriage that 'carried' people and later came to mean a person who helps carry you to a goal. Add -able ('can be') and -ity ('quality'), and coachability is the 'quality of being able to be coached', which means being willing and able to learn from a coach's advice.
