able to be made regular
Etymology
'regularisability' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'regularis', where the root 'regula' meant 'rule'.
'regularisability' changed from Medieval Latin 'regularisabilis' and later from Old French/Medieval Latin adjective forms such as 'regularisable', and eventually became the modern English noun 'regularisability' via the addition of the suffix '-ity'.
Initially, related forms meant 'capable of being made according to a rule', and over time this evolved into the current specialized sense of 'capable of being regularised or regularized'.
