Morphology

fatigability = fatigable (semi-transparent) = fatigue + able + ity

Adding '-ity' to 'fatigable' forms the noun in a standard way.

Etymology

Fatigability starts with fatigue, which can also mean 'wearing out' after repeated use (think 'metal fatigue'), and ends with the ending -ability meaning 'can be'. So it means how likely a material or part is to 'wear out' or fail after many repeated loads.
