mutability

/ˌmjuːtəˈbɪlɪti/ noun B2 ✓

The quality or state of being mutable.

Word Origin From Latin 'mutare' 'to change' — the root 'mut-' is all about transformation. The breakdown 'mut+able+ity' literally means 'the quality of being changeable.' The same root gives us mutate, mutation, and mutant (think X-Men), as well as immutable (unchangeable) and commute (change your travel). The PIE root *mei- also underlies words like migrate and even mad (originally 'changed' in mind).
