Morphology

shareability = shareable (transparent) = share + able + ity

Formed by adding the nominalizing suffix '-ity' to the adjective 'shareable' (share + -able), a regular, directly interpretable derivation.

Etymology

Shareability starts with the common verb share, which means 'to divide or give to others', and adds the parts -able ('able to') and -ity ('the quality of'). So shareability simply means the quality of being 'able to be shared', which is why people use it for posts or articles that are easy to pass on online.
