Morphology

developability = developable (transparent) = develop + able + ity

Derived from 'develop' → 'developable' → 'developability' in a way that directly expresses suitability or capacity for development.

Etymology

Developability comes from develop, from an old idea of 'unwrapping' or 'making grow', and the ending -ability means 'can be'. So developability asks whether land, a project, or an idea 'can be made' or improved into something new.
