commutability

/kəmjˌuɾəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The quality of being commutable.

Word Origin Built from Latin mutare 'to change' with com- 'together' — so commutability is literally 'the ability to change together,' the quality of being interchangeable. The root mutare is a shape-shifter: it gives us mutable (changeable), immutable (unchangeable), and transmute (change across forms). The PIE root *mei- also underlies migrate — the idea of moving, changing place.
