Surface Forms

renewability singular

Morphology

renewability = renewable (transparent) = renew + able + ity

This sense is also a straightforward nominalization of renewable, with the contract-specific meaning still predictable from the base form.

Etymology

Renewability comes from the parts re- 'again' and new, the same parts in the verb renew, so think of making something 'new again' like extending a contract or updating a passport. That's why renewability means the ability of something to be renewed, extended, or continued.
