dependableness

/dɪˈpɛndəbəɫnəs/ noun

Dependability.

Word Origin From Latin 'dependere' — 'de-' (down) + 'pendere' (to hang) — so to depend is literally 'to hang from'. Dependableness is the quality of being able to hang from something securely. The root 'pendere' gives us a whole hanging family: 'suspend' (hang under), 'expend' (weigh out, spend), 'compensate' (weigh together), 'append' (hang on). The PIE *pend- also gives 'pendulum' and 'pendant'.
