This is a standard noun formation from 'removable' meaning the state or quality of being able to be removed.

Etymology

Removability comes from re- meaning 'back' and move meaning 'to move', plus -ability meaning 'can be done'. So it literally means 'can be moved away', which is why we use it for whether a person or official can be removed from a job or office.
