Morphology

conformability = conformable (transparent) = conform + able + ity

The noun denotes the property of being conformable (able to fit or adapt), a straightforward derivation from the adjective 'conformable'.

Etymology

Conformability comes from con- ('with') and form ('shape'). Think of a bandage that bends and sits with the body — high conformability means a material can closely fit or adapt to a surface.
