Morphology

satisfiability = satisfiable (transparent) = satisfy + able + ity

Standard nominalization from the adjective 'satisfiable' using the productive suffix '-ity'.

Etymology

Satisfiability comes from satisfy, made of satis 'enough' and facere 'to make', with -able 'can be' and -ity 'the state of'. So for rules or contracts, satisfiability means they 'can be met' or 'are able to be satisfied'.
