Characterized by friendliness and absence of discord; peaceful and harmonious. Used to describe relationships, agreements, or interactions that are mutually pleasant.
From Latin 'amicus' meaning 'friend,' which also gives us 'amity' and 'amiable.' The word entered English in the 15th century through legal contexts describing peaceful settlements.
Remember 'AMICABLE' contains 'AMIGO' (Spanish for friend) - amicable people treat each other like amigos! The root 'amic-' appears in 'amity' (friendship) and helps you remember this is about friendly relations.
