The quality or state of being capable of detonating; the potential or likelihood of something exploding.
From detonable + -ity. Detonation comes from Latin detonare 'to thunder down,' from de- + tonare 'to thunder.' The abstract noun formation -ity comes from Latin.
Detonability matters enormously to chemists and safety engineers—they rate explosives by how easily they detonate, which determines how they're handled, transported, and stored. Understanding detonability saved countless lives in industrial accidents.
