Morphology

realizability = realizable (transparent) = real + ize + able + ity

Formed from 'real' → 'realize' → 'realizable' + '-ity'; the sequence of productive English affixes yields a clear meaning 'the quality of being able to be made real'.

Etymology

Realizability comes from realize 'make real' and -ability 'ability'. It means the quality of being able to be made real or done, so something's realizability is how possible it is in practice.
