knowledgeability = knowledgeable (transparent) = knowledge + able + ity
The noun denotes the quality/state of being 'knowledgeable' and is a regular nominalization from the adjective, so the relation is clear to learners.
Etymology
The word knowledgeability comes from the common verb know plus the parts -able and -ity, so it can be remembered as 'able to know' or the 'state of having knowledge'. That's why knowledgeability describes someone who has a lot of knowledge or skill in a subject.
