Morphology

retrievability = retrievable (transparent) = retrieve + able + ity

The noun is formed by adding the productive noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'retrievable', yielding the quality of being retrievable.

Etymology

Retrievability comes from retrieve ('to get back' or 'find again') and the ending -ability ('can be done'), so it means how easy something is to find or recover when you need it.
