Morphology

writability = writable (transparent) = writ + able + ity

Formed from the adjective 'writable' (write + -able) with the standard noun-forming suffix '-ity', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Writability comes from the word write (an old word meaning 'to scratch' or make letters) plus -able ('can') and -ity ('state'). So writability is the 'state of being able to write', or how easy something is to express in writing.
