Morphology

saleability = saleable (semi-transparent) = sale + able + ity

Built by adding '-ity' to the adjective 'saleable', a regular nominalization.

Etymology

Saleability comes from sale 'selling' plus -able 'able to' and -ity which makes a noun. So, in the legal sense it means 'able to be sold' because the item meets the rules and is 'allowed' for sale.
