concealability
Ability to hide
Concealability is how easily something can be hidden.
The term appears most often in discussions of weapons—a small handgun has greater concealability than a rifle.
The knife's concealability made it popular for self-defense.
The quality matters in contexts from smuggling to magic tricks.
