The quality or capacity of being able to germinate; the likelihood or potential for seeds to sprout and develop into plants.
From 'germinable' (capable of germinating) plus the noun suffix '-ity.' Ultimately from Latin 'germinare' (to sprout, bud).
Seed scientists measure germinability in percentages—a batch of seeds might have 85% germinability, which determines whether that field will flourish or fail, making this technical word crucial for global food security.
