Morphology
transmutability = transmutable (transparent) = trans + mut + ability + ity
The noun is formed from the adjective 'transmutable', indicating a state or quality.
Etymology
Transmutability comes from Latin parts trans- meaning 'across' and mutare meaning 'to change', the same idea you see in transform and mutate. So, transmutability is the ability of something to change from one form or material into another.
