Surface Forms

engageability singular

Morphology

engageability = engageable (transparent) = engage + able + ity

Formed by adding '-ity' to 'engageable' (which itself is 'engage' + '-able'); the nominal meaning 'the quality of being able to be engaged' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Engageability comes from engage + -ability, where engage originally meant 'to put into someone’s hands' or 'to join'. So, for machines this tells you how easily parts can join together and start working.
