Surface Forms

engageability singular

Morphology

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

Built by adding '-ity' to 'engageable' ('engage' + '-able'); the sense 'able to be engaged or involved' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Engageability comes from engage + -ability, and engage came to mean 'to interest or involve' (as in an audience). So, engageability is how well something can get people involved or hold their attention.
