Morphology
exchangeability = exchangeable (transparent) = exchange + able + ity
Formed by regular noun derivation from the adjective 'exchangeable' (exchange + -able), so the meaning 'the quality of being exchangeable' is directly derived.
Etymology
Exchangeability comes from exchange ('to swap or trade') and ability ('can be done'), so it names the quality of being 'able to be swapped' or replaced by something equal.
