Morphology

traceability = traceable (transparent) = trace + able + ity

The noun is formed regularly by adding '-ity' to the adjective 'traceable'.

Etymology

Traceability comes from the simple verb trace, which means 'to follow small marks or signs', and the ending -ability, which means 'can be done'. So traceability is the idea that you can follow a product's path or history, for example to check where food or parts came from.
