The quality or capability of being able to be addressed, especially in computing or communication systems.
Modern word formation from 'address' (to direct toward) + '-ability' (quality of being), developed in computing terminology to describe system memory and data access properties.
In computer science, 'addressability' is crucial—it means every byte of memory can be directly accessed and communicated with, which sounds simple but was actually a major innovation that made modern computing possible.
