Morphology
distinguishability = distinguishable (transparent) = distinguish + able + ity
Adding the noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'distinguishable' yields the expected meaning 'the state or quality of being distinguishable'.
Etymology
Distinguishability comes from the same root as distinct and distinguish, with dis- meaning 'apart' and the idea of showing things as separate. So distinguishability is the quality of being able to tell that things are 'different' from each other.
