[heirodule]

Visible + ability = ability to be visible

Visiblability?

no

vis (see) + able = visible
vis (see) + ability = visibility.

wikipedia says

"Although "collectable" is the spelling listed first by the Oxford English Dictionary, the dictionary observes that the "-ible" form is also valid, and has come to be common usage in the United States."

Doesn't matter to me.

I just dislike the concept when it comes to RPG widgets...

Nah, I just like to troll every now and then. And what better troll than a good old-fashioned spelling debate!

 

[Marius Delphus]

To me,

"collectible" = noun
"collectable" = adjective

Therefore,

"collectability" = the state of being collectable

Today, anyway.

I belive collectable is the British/Canadian spelling, while collectible is the US spelling.

Only this time it is in English and not German.

Flogiston!

I'd look at other words with the same ending:

Operability, manageability, etc.

b/c English is a very consistent language...
