Discoverability, in the context of design, refers to how easily users can find or identify a particular feature or function within a product or system. It's a crucial aspect of user-friendly design, as it directly impacts how intuitively and efficiently a user can navigate and utilize a product. For example, in a software application, discoverability might refer to how easily a user can find a specific tool or function. Good discoverability means that users can easily find what they're looking for, reducing frustration and improving overall user experience.

The relationship between an object's properties and the capabilities of the agent that interacts with it—ergo, a chair affords support, so in turn, it affords the ability to sit on it. An affordance only exists if the agent can interact appropriately; for example, if a child is not strong enough to lift a stool, the stool does not afford lifting. Affordance is relative. To be effective, affordances and anti-affordances have to be discoverable.
