'distributability' originates from the Latin word 'distribuere,' where 'dis-' meant 'apart' and 'tribuere' meant 'to assign or allot.'

'distribuere' transformed into the Old French word 'distribuer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'distribute,' from which 'distributability' is derived.

Initially, it meant 'to assign or allot something,' and over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the quality of being able to be distributed.'
