detachability

/dɪtˌætʃəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The quality or degree of being detachable.

Word Origin Detach comes from Latin dis- 'apart' and a Germanic root meaning 'to stick' (like stake or stick) — so detach is literally 'un-stick.' Detachability is the quality of being able to be unstuck. The same root gives us attach (stick to), attack (originally 'to stick to' in battle), and sticky. The breakdown de+tach+ability makes it clear: the ability to be separated.
