receptiveness

/ɹiˈsɛptɪvnəs/ noun

the characteristic of being receptive

Word Origin Receptiveness comes from receptive, which traces back to Latin re- 'back' and capere 'to take' — literally 'taking back'. The root capere is incredibly productive: it gives us capture, accept, concept, perceive, and deceive. The breakdown re+cept+ive+ness shows the 'taking' root, so receptiveness is the quality of being open to taking things in.
