communicability
Ease of transmission
Communicability is the quality of being easily transmitted or conveyed.
In medicine, it describes how readily a disease spreads from person to person: The virus's high communicability made containment difficult.
More broadly, it can refer to how well ideas or information can be shared: The communicability of complex scientific concepts to general audiences remains a challenge.
