Morphology

repeatability = repeatable (transparent) = repeat + able + ity

The noun is formed from the adjective 'repeatable' by the productive suffix '-ity', and the step from 'repeat' to 'repeatable' is straightforward.

Etymology

Repeatability comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the verb repeat, which means 'do or say again', so it literally names the ability to do something again and get the same result.
