Morphology

droppage = drop (transparent) = drop + age

Derived by adding '-age' to 'drop' to express a quantity or rate related to dropping, analogous to other measure nouns (e.g., 'shrinkage').

Etymology

Droppage mixes drop with -age, which often shows the 'amount' or result of an action, as in shortage. So droppage can mean the amount or rate at which things are lost or dropped, which is why people or companies might track it to find where items go missing.
