The quality of being friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to; pleasantness in manner.
From Old French 'affabilité' derived from Latin 'affabilis' (affable), combining 'ad' (to) + 'fari' (to speak), literally meaning 'able to be spoken to.'
The root literally means 'able to be spoken to'—so an affable person is someone you feel confident approaching, which is why affability creates instant trust and connections.
