Morphology
demonstrability = demonstrable (transparent) = demonstrate + able + ity
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'demonstrable', a regular and predictable derivation.
Etymology
Demonstrability comes from the verb demonstrate, which is built from the parts de- meaning 'completely' and monstrare meaning 'to show'. So demonstrability is simply the quality of being 'able to be shown' or proved, which is why we use it for things that can be clearly demonstrated.
