The quality or capacity of being able to be filtered; the degree to which a substance can be separated through a filtering process.
From 'filter' (Medieval Latin filtrum) plus the suffix '-ability' (Latin -abilitas, capable of). Scientific term from 20th century chemistry.
Filterability matters enormously in water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and beer production—understanding it separates successful industrial processes from expensive failures.
