Morphology
persuasibility = persuasible (opaque) = persuade + ity
Formed from 'persuasible' + '-ity', which normally yields the quality of being able to be persuaded.
Etymology
Persuasibility comes from the common word persuade, built from per- 'thoroughly' and suadere 'to advise'. So the persuasibility of a speech or ad is how well it can make people accept an idea, or how 'thoroughly advised' they become by it.
