The quality, state, or capacity for germination; the tendency or ability of seeds to sprout and grow into living plants.
From 'germinant' (germinating, sprouting) plus the noun suffix '-cy,' similar to how 'buoyant' becomes 'buoyancy.' Ultimately from Latin 'germinare.'
'Germinancy' is the official scientific term for seed potential—farmers and botanists rely on understanding the germinancy of their crops to predict harvest success or failure.
