The quality or state of being capable of being devised; the capacity to be planned, invented, or transferred by will.
From devisable (capable of being devised) plus -ity (Latin suffix forming abstract nouns). Devised traces to Old French 'deviser,' to invent or arrange.
Legal language creates abstract qualities from verbs—'devisability' appears in property law regarding what can be left in a will, showing how English transforms practical concepts into abstract principles for legal precision.
