Morphology
negotiability = negotiable (transparent) = negotiate + able + ity
Formed from 'negotiable' + '-ity'; the meaning 'quality of being open to negotiation' follows directly from the base.
Etymology
Negotiability comes from the old Latin word negotium meaning 'business', and from the verb negotiate, which meant to do business or talk about deals. So if something has negotiability, it can be discussed or changed during a negotiation.
