'parsability' originates from English, specifically formed from the verb 'parse' plus the suffix '-ability', where 'parse' meant 'to analyze (a sentence or data) by dividing into parts' and '-ability' denotes 'the quality of being able to be X'.

'parse' comes from Medieval Latin 'parsare' (to divide into parts) and entered Middle English as 'parsen' or 'parse'; combining this with the English productive suffix '-ability' produced the modern coinage 'parsability'.

Initially, 'parse' primarily meant 'to divide into parts' or 'to analyze grammatically'; over time it broadened to include computerized analysis of data and structure, and 'parsability' now refers to the capacity of text or data to be processed by a parser.
