Morphology

manufacturability = manufacturable (transparent) = manufacture + able + ity

Adding '-ity' to 'manufacturable' yields the noun 'manufacturability' meaning 'the quality of being manufacturable', a direct and regular derivation.

Etymology

Manufacturability comes from manufacture, which joins parts that mean 'hand' (manu-) and 'make' (-fact-), plus the ending -ability meaning 'can be made'. So, manufacturability is about how easily a product or design can be made.
