Morphology

processability = processable (transparent) = process + able + ity

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'processable' (process + -able); the derivation is regular and meaning is predictable.

Etymology

Processability comes from the common word process, which is built from pro- 'forward' and -cess 'to go', plus -able 'can be' and -ity 'state'. So think of processability as how easily data or a program can be 'moved forward' through steps and handled by a computer.
