explicability
Capacity for clarification
Explicability is the quality of being explainable or capable of being made clear.
The term appears most often in technical contexts—artificial intelligence, scientific methodology, legal reasoning—where the ability to explain how a conclusion was reached matters: The model's explicability is crucial for regulatory compliance.
Something with high explicability can be understood and justified; something lacking it remains opaque.
