Morphology
collectibility = collectible (semi-transparent) = collect + ible + ity
Formally transparent as 'collect' → 'collectible' → 'collectibility', but the specialized sense 'desirability to collectors' is conventionalized and may not be obvious from 'collect' to all learners.
Etymology
Collectibility comes from the base collect (from a root meaning 'gather') and is connected to the word collectible. So an item's collectibility is how much collectors want to 'gather' it, for example because it is rare, old, or in very good condition.
