Surface Forms

agreeability singular

Morphology

agreeability = agreeable (transparent) = agree + able + ity

Formed by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'agreeable', which itself is 'agree' + '-able'; the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Agreeability comes from agree and the ending -able, as in agreeable, where -able means 'able' or 'can be'. Think of a person who often says 'yes' and makes others comfortable; that's why agreeability means the quality of being pleasant, friendly, and easy to get along with.
