Morphology
predictability = predictable (transparent) = predict + able + ity
The noun is a regular nominalization of the adjective 'predictable' (predict + -able), so its meaning is directly derived from the base.
Etymology
Predictability comes from two parts: pre- 'before' and dict 'say', the same root you see in predict and dictionary. So, predictability is about how easy it is to know or expect something before it happens.
