The quality or capability of being buffable; how well something can be polished or smoothed with a buff or buffing process.
From 'buff' (to polish) plus '-able' (capable of being) plus '-ity' (the state of being). This technical term emerged in manufacturing and materials processing contexts.
Jewelers and metalworkers rate stones and metals by their 'buffability'—some materials take a gorgeous polish beautifully, while others won't shine no matter what, which determines their value for high-end products!
