learnability 

a statement made by some IT folk who perceives themselves to be knowledgeable enough to make up words.

Usually they're trying to describe to a 'normal human' the capability of a software product to enable the user to learn how to use it. Most people just use a full sentence, rather than make up silly words.

Learnability is intended to mean the measure of the degree to which a user interface can be learned quickly and effectively with learning time as the typical measure. Just say that instead of being a muppet.
When documenting software specifications, learnability is an important factor for the end user.

Learnagility 

A variation of the word "learnability" which defines an approach to building a learning mindset rather than concentrate on the pathway to building a specific skill set. First coined for a discussion on the L&D strategy in Nagarro by Mukund Nair. Its a portmanteau of learning + agility.
In this uncertain world filled with disruption, we need people who not only have skills required today but the learnagility to acquire skills for tomorrow.
