Morphology

codifiability = codifiable (transparent) = codify + able + ity

The noun is clearly formed from the adjective 'codifiable' by the productive suffix '-ity', yielding 'the quality of being codifiable'.

Etymology

Codifiability comes from codify ('to put into a code') plus -ability ('able to be'). The root codify is the same as the common word code, which grew from an old word for 'book', so codifiability means being able to be written down or put into a clear system.
