Etymology: This spelling doesn't appear in standard English dictionaries. The form most likely meant is "organizability," the capacity for being organized, which is built from "organize," the suffix "-able" ("capable of being"), and "-ity" (a noun-forming suffix). The extra "li" may be a typing slip. "Organize" comes from Medieval Latin "organizare," which descends from Latin "organum" and Greek "organon," meaning "tool" or "instrument." The link to the musical instrument "organ" is real: an organ is a machine of many working parts. To organize something was originally to equip it with the tools or parts it needed to function as a whole, and the sense of arranging things into a coherent order grew from that. The suffix "-ability" comes from Latin "-abilitas" by way of Old French, and it turns an adjective like "organizable" into a noun for the quality it describes.
