yieldingness

/ˈjiɫdɪŋnəs/ noun

Tendency to yield; submissiveness.

Word Origin From Proto-Germanic *geldanan 'to pay, yield.' The word yield originally meant to pay or give over. Yieldingness is the quality of being yielding — flexible, giving way. The same root gives us guild (a payment association) and geld (a tax). The PIE root *ghel- also appears in words related to giving. So yieldingness is literally the tendency to pay out, to give in.
