Morphology

manageability = manageable (transparent) = manage + ability + ity

The word 'manageability' is transparently formed from 'manageable' by adding the suffix '-ity', indicating a state or quality.

Etymology

The word manageability comes from manage, which once meant 'to handle by hand' and is related to the common word manual, and the ending -able means 'can be'. So manageability is the quality of being 'able to be handled' or controlled, which is why we use it for things that are easy to manage.
