breakableness
Prone to shattering
The quality of being able to be broken.
Breakableness is a perfectly valid word that rarely appears because *fragility* does the same job with fewer syllables.
When it does appear, it often emphasizes physical vulnerability: The breakableness of the glass worried her during the move.
