Morphology

irremovability = irremovable (semi-transparent) = ir + re + mov + able + ity

The noun is a regular and easily interpretable state noun formed from the adjective 'irremovable' with '-ity'.

Etymology

The word irremovability is built from the prefix ir- meaning 'not', the root remove meaning 'take away', and the ending -ability meaning 'the quality of'. So irremovability means 'the quality of not being able to be taken away', which is why we use it for officials or judges who cannot be removed from their office.
