Morphology
maintainability = maintainable (transparent) = maintain + able + ity
Built from the adjective 'maintainable' + the noun-forming suffix '-ity', yielding 'the quality of being maintainable'.
Etymology
Maintainability comes from maintain + -ability. Maintain comes from Latin parts manu 'hand' and tenere 'to hold', as in manual 'hand' and retain 'to hold', so maintainability is the quality of something you can keep working or repair easily.
