Morphology
understandability = understandable (transparent) = understand + able + ity
Regular noun formation from the adjective 'understandable' with the productive suffix '-ity' indicating a quality or state.
Etymology
The word understandability comes from the verb understand ('to know the meaning of something') plus the endings -able ('can be') and -ity ('a state or quality'). So, understandability is the 'state of being easy to understand'—how simple it is for someone to grasp an idea.
