Controllableness

/kənˈtroʊləbəlnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality of being controllable; the state of being able to be managed or regulated.

Etymology

From controllable plus the suffix -ness, which creates abstract nouns from adjectives.

Kelly Says

This word stacks three layers of meaning: control + able + ness—each suffix adds abstraction, so by the end you're talking about a very theoretical property.
