Morphology

computability = computable (transparent) = compute + able + ity

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the clear adjective 'computable' (compute + -able), yielding a standard abstract noun.

Etymology

Computability comes from compute, as in computer, which originally meant 'to count' or 'to calculate', and the ending -ability, which means 'can be done'. So, computability is about whether something 'can be calculated' or solved by a computer.
