Morphology
persuasibility = persuasible (transparent) = persuade + ity
Built from the adjective 'persuasible' + '-ity'; the meaning 'capable of being persuaded' follows standard derivational rules.
Etymology
Persuasibility comes from the common word persuade, which breaks down into the parts per- 'thoroughly' and suadere 'to advise'. So a person with high persuasibility is easy to be advised or convinced, as if others can 'thoroughly advise' them.
