operability
Ability to function
Operability is the quality of being operable—capable of functioning or being put into operation.
In medicine, operability refers to whether a condition can be treated surgically: The tumor's operability depends on its location.
In engineering and software, operability describes how easily a system can be kept running and maintained: The platform was designed with operability in mind.
