The quality or capacity of being able to cross or be crossed, especially in genetics or geography.
From 'cross' + 'ability,' with the suffix -ability meaning capability. The term developed in botanical and genetic contexts in the 19th century.
Scientists use 'crossability' to determine which plant species can breed together—it's basically nature's compatibility test, and some plants that look totally different can still produce offspring together!
