livability

/lˌɪvəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The property of being livable.

Word Origin Live comes from Proto-Germanic libējaną 'to live, remain,' from PIE *leip- 'to remain, continue.' Livability is the quality of being able to be lived in — how suitable a place is for living. The same root gives us life, alive, lively, and outlive. The suffix -able means 'able to be,' and -ity turns it into a noun.

noun The property of being livable. countable
