The quality or state of being amicable; the capacity for friendly and peaceful resolution or relationship.
From 'amicable' (from Latin 'amicabilis' capable of friendship) plus the suffix '-ity' (from Latin '-itas' denoting a state or quality). The root remains 'amicus' (friend).
In legal contexts, 'amicability' is the brass ring—when both sides agree to settle 'amicably' rather than fight in court, it saves everyone money and heartbreak, and this word has become almost synonymous with avoiding expensive litigation.
