understandabilities
Degrees of clarity
Understandabilities is the plural of understandability—the quality of being able to be understood.
The word appears mainly in technical contexts where clarity is measured or compared: The understandabilities of the two instruction manuals were tested against each other.
Like many abstract nouns ending in -ity, it sounds awkward in the plural and rarely appears outside academic or bureaucratic writing.
