Morphology

noticeability = noticeable (transparent) = notice + able + ity

The noun is formed by adding the productive noun-forming suffix '-ity' to the clearly derived adjective 'noticeable', yielding the expected meaning 'the quality of being noticeable'.

Etymology

Noticeability comes from notice plus the endings -able and -ity, and notice is like the word note, from an old word that meant 'to mark' or 'pay attention to'. So noticeability is the quality of being easy to 'mark' or see, in other words how easy something is to notice.
