Morphology
squeezability = squeezable (transparent) = squeeze + able + ity
Formed from the adjective 'squeezable' (squeeze + -able) with the noun-forming suffix '-ity', and the meaning is directly derived from the base.
Etymology
The word squeezability comes from squeeze meaning 'to press together', plus -able meaning 'can be' and -ity meaning 'quality of'. So, squeezability is the 'quality of being able to be squeezed', like a soft bottle or toy that you can press and make smaller.
