Morphology
practicability = practicable (transparent) = practic + able + ity
Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'practicable'; the meaning 'the quality of being practicable' is directly derived.
Etymology
Practicability comes from the simpler words practice and practical, which come from a root meaning 'to do' or 'act'. So, practicability is about whether something can really be 'done' or will 'work' in the real world.
