inhabitability

/ɪnhˌæbɪɾəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The quality of being inhabitable.

Word Origin Inhabitability is built from inhabit, which comes from Latin 'in-' (in) and 'habitare' (to dwell). So it's the quality of being able to be lived in. The root habitare also gives us habitation, inhabitant, and even cohabit, while the related habere (to have) gives us habit, exhibit, and prohibit.
