Morphology

compensability = compensable (transparent) = compensate + ity

Formed by a standard adjectival-to-noun derivation (compensable + -ity), preserving the meaning 'able to be compensated'.

Etymology

Compensability comes from the verb compensate, which has the parts com- ('together') and -pens- ('to weigh' or 'to pay'), the same root you see in expense. So compensability is about how easily something can be 'made up' or 'balanced' by other actions.
