Morphology

doability = doable (transparent) = do + able + ity

Formed by the regular noun-forming suffix '-ity' from the adjective 'doable', whose meaning is itself transparently built from 'do' + '-able'.

Etymology

The word doability comes from the action word do and the ending -ability, which means 'can be done', as in readable. So doability simply asks how 'doable' or possible something is.
