Morphology

presentability = presentable (transparent) = present + able + ity

Formed by adding '-ity' to 'presentable' (which itself is 'present' + '-able'), a regular nominalization of an adjective.

Etymology

Presentability comes from the word present meaning 'to show', plus the endings -able ('fit for') and -ity ('quality'). So presentability is the quality of being 'fit to be shown' — for a person this means how neat or suitable you look before meeting others.
