Morphology

discernability = discernable (transparent) = discern + able + ity

Formed by adding the productive noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'discernable', preserving the expected meaning.

Etymology

Discernability comes from the verb discern, which first meant to 'separate' or 'see' things clearly, and the part dis- means 'apart'. So, discernability is how easy it is to notice or tell things apart.
