Morphology
promotability = promotable (transparent) = promote + able + ity
The noun is formed by standard adjectival nominalization from 'promotable' (-ity), and the chain promote -> promotable -> promotability is regular and inferable.
Etymology
Promotability comes from the verb promote, which has the parts pro- 'forward' and move 'to move', plus the ending -ability 'ability'. Think of it as 'able to be moved up', which is why the word means the chance someone will be promoted at work.
