Morphology

constructibility = constructible (transparent) = construct + ible + ity

Clear noun formation from the adjective 'constructible' (construct + -ible), giving the property 'the ability to be constructed', which is directly derivable.

Etymology

Constructibility comes from the Latin parts con- 'with' and struere 'to build', and you see the same root in construct and structure. So when engineers or architects check the constructibility of a design or bridge, they are asking if it can be 'built' in the real world.
