Morphology
extensibility = extensible (transparent) = extend + ity
The formation follows the regular pattern 'extensible' + '-ity' to denote the quality or capacity to be extended, which metaphorically extends to systems and software.
Etymology
The word extensibility comes from Latin words ex- 'out' and tendere 'to stretch', the same idea behind extend and extension. So when we speak of a system or software's extensibility, we mean it can be 'stretched out' with new parts or features easily.
