The quality of being suitable, appropriate, or likely; the state of being apt.
From 'apt' plus the suffix '-ness,' which creates abstract nouns expressing qualities or states. The root 'apt' comes from Latin 'aptus' (fitted).
The beauty of 'aptness' is that it captures both meanings of apt—something can be aptly suited AND apt to happen!
