Etymology: "Saleabilities" is simply the plural of "saleability," so it is the form of a word built from "sale" and the suffix "-ability." The suffix comes from Latin "-abilitas" via French and attaches to verbs to name a capacity: "readability" is the quality of being readable, and "saleability" follows the same pattern, naming the quality of being saleable, or fit to be sold. Adding "-ity" to a base ending in "-able" is how English forms many such nouns, so the plural simply counts distinct degrees or instances of that quality across different items or markets.
