decipherability

/dᵻsˌaɪfɚɹəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The condition of being decipherable.

Word Origin Decipherability is built on decipher, from de- 'undoing' and cipher, which comes from Arabic ṣifr 'zero, empty' — the idea of a code being empty of meaning until decoded. Cipher also gives us encipher and recipher. The Arabic ṣifr also gave us zero. So decipherability is the quality of being able to be decoded, to have its emptiness filled with meaning.
