alterability

/ˌɔltɚɹəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The property of being alterable.

Word Origin 'Alterability' comes from Latin alter, meaning 'the other' — so to alter is to make something other than it was. Alterability is the capacity to be changed. The same root gives us 'alternate,' 'alternative,' and 'altruism' (concern for others). It's a word about change and otherness.
