The quality of being teachable or willing to learn; docility (an archaic term).
Formed from Latin 'docilis' (teachable) plus the suffix '-ity,' creating an abstract noun. This term was used in Early Modern English but has largely been replaced by 'docility.'
Docity would have been a valued virtue in Renaissance education—the idea that a student's docity (willingness to learn) mattered more than raw intelligence is something modern education is rediscovering.
