Morphology

settleability = settleable (transparent) = settle + able + ity

The noun is a regular nominalization of 'settleable' indicating the quality of being able to be settled (e.g., a payment).

Etymology

Settleability comes from the verb settle, which can mean 'to make final' or 'to pay a bill', and the ending -ability meaning 'can be done'. So, just like you 'settle a bill' at a shop, settleability is how easily a payment or transaction can be completed and cleared.
