Morphology
transposability = transposable (transparent) = trans + pose + able + ity
This is a regular noun formation from the adjective 'transposable', so the meaning follows directly from the base word.
Etymology
The word transposability comes from transpose, built from trans- meaning 'across' and the same root as position meaning 'place'. So, transposability is the ability to move parts 'across' or change their order, putting things in different places.
