exchangeability

/ɛkstʃˌeɪndʒəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The condition of being exchangeable

Word Origin Exchangeability is built on exchange, from Latin ex- 'out' and cambiare 'to exchange, barter' (from Celtic origin, PIE *(s)kamb- 'to bend, curve'). So exchange is literally 'to barter out.' The root cambiare gives us change, changeable, and interchange. The suffixes -able and -ity turn it into a noun meaning 'the capacity to be swapped.' The same ex- appears in export, extract, and extend.
