destructibility

/dᵻstɹˌʌktəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The condition of being destructible

Word Origin 'Destructibility' is the quality of being able to be un-built. It comes from 'destruct', from Latin 'destruere' (to tear down), from 'de-' (down) and 'struere' (to build). So it's literally 'build-down-able-ness'. The root 'struere' gives us 'construct' (build together), 'instruct' (build knowledge), and 'obstruct' (build against). The breakdown de+struct+ible+ity shows the potential for demolition.
