knowability
Able to grasp
Knowability is the quality of being capable of being known or understood.
The term appears mainly in philosophy, where debates about knowability concern whether certain truths—about the external world, other minds, or moral facts—can in principle be grasped by human cognition.
The knowability of God's nature has occupied theologians for centuries.
