affectivity

/ˌæfɛkˈtɪvɪti/ noun

An ability to experience affects: feelings, emotions, judgement, motivations, etc.

Word Origin From Latin ad- 'to' and facere 'to do, make' — affectivity is the quality of being affected, of having something done to you emotionally. The root facere gives us fact (something done), effect (done out), and affection (a doing to). The breakdown af+fect+ive+ity shows the prefix, root, and suffixes, so affectivity is about the capacity to be emotionally moved.
