Morphology
affectability = affectable (transparent) = affect + able + ity
Regular formation from 'affect' → 'affectable' (capable of being affected) + '-ity', so the noun's meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word affectability comes from affect ('to influence' or 'to feel') and -ability ('can be'), so it means the quality of being easily influenced by other people or by feelings.
