Morphology
acceptability = acceptable (transparent) = accept + able + ity
Formed by a normal adjective-to-noun conversion (acceptable + -ity) where 'acceptable' is transparently derived from 'accept' + -able.
Etymology
Acceptability is built from accept (originally 'to take') plus -able ('can be') and -ity (an ending that makes a noun). So, acceptability asks whether something can be 'taken' or received as good or satisfactory.
