Detachability

/dɪˌtætʃəˈbɪləti/ noun

Definition

The quality or condition of being able to be separated or removed from something else.

Etymology

From detach + -ability suffix. Detach comes from Old French detachier (to unfasten), from de- (away) + tachier (to fasten).

Kelly Says

Product designers obsess over detachability—like how smartphone charger cables are often detachable so one cable can work with multiple devices, saving you money and reducing waste.
