Morphology
serviceability = serviceable (transparent) = service + able + ity
The noun is formed by adding '-ity' to 'serviceable' (service + -able), and the meaning 'easy to maintain or repair' is a normal extension of 'serviceable'.
Etymology
Serviceability comes from the everyday word service, as when you take a car for a service to keep it working, together with the parts -able ('can be') and -ity ('state of'). So, serviceability is the 'state of being easy to service', which explains why it means the quality of being easy to maintain or repair.
