interactivity

/ˌɪnɝˌækˈtɪvɪti/, /ˌɪntɝˌækˈtɪvɪti/ noun

The quality of being interactive.

Word Origin Built from Latin inter 'between' and agere 'to do, drive' — so interact is literally 'to do between,' to act reciprocally. Add -ive ('tending to') and -ity ('state of'), and you get interactivity: the state of tending to act between. The root agere is incredibly productive: it gives us act, agent, react, enact, and even agency. The PIE root *h₂eǵ- meant 'to drive,' which you can still feel in the energy of 'interactive' experiences.
