applicableness

/ˈæpɫəkəbəɫnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being applicable.

Word Origin From Latin plicare 'to fold' — the idea is folding something onto something else, making it applicable. The prefix ap- (from ad- 'to') plus plicare gives 'fold to,' and -able means 'capable of,' -ness makes it a noun. The same root gives us apply, complicate (fold together), and explicit (folded open).
