tameability
Capacity for domestication
Tameability is the quality of being tameable—the capacity to be domesticated, trained, or brought under control.
The word applies to animals the tameability of wolves made dogs possible and extends to anything that might be subdued or managed: the tameability of wilderness, the tameability of one's impulses.
