Morphology
tractableness = tractable (semi-transparent) = tract + able + ness
The formation 'tractable' + '-ness' is a regular nominalization, but 'tractable' itself is built from the Latin combining form 'tract-' plus '-able', which may be unfamiliar to many learners.
Etymology
Tractableness comes from the root tract, from an old Latin word meaning 'to handle' or 'to pull', plus the ending -able meaning 'able', and you can see the same root in tractor, a machine that pulls things. So, tractableness is the quality of being easy to handle or easy to persuade.
