Best Answer

The noun forms for the verb to retain are retainer, retainability, retainment, and the gerund, retaining.

'Retainability' of something like soil or a sponge, or of someone's memory.

'Retainment' means roughly the same.

'Retainer' would be used in a legal sense or a physical sense; to refer to a fee to 'book' services, or to an object used to retain another.
