approachability

/æpɹˌoʊtʃəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The characteristic of being approachable; the ability to be approached.

Word Origin Approachability is the quality of being easy to approach. Approach comes from Latin adpropiare 'to come near' (ad- 'to' + prope 'near'). The -able suffix makes it 'able to be approached,' and -ity turns it into a noun. The same root gives us approximate (come near in value) and propinquity (nearness). Reproach is related: originally 'to bring near' as in accusation.

noun The characteristic of being approachable; the ability to be approached. countable
