Morphology

extendibility = extendible (transparent) = extend + ible + ity

The noun is formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'extendible' (itself derived from 'extend'), so the meaning is directly predictable from 'extend'.

Etymology

Extendibility comes from extend, which traces back to the old Latin extendere meaning 'to stretch out'. Think of stretching a deadline like a rubber band across time, so extendibility is the ability to be made longer or to last longer.
