The quality or state of being able to be excused or forgiven; how much something deserves to be pardoned.
From excusable + -ity, combining the adjective with the suffix -ity (from Latin -itas). This forms an abstract noun describing the degree to which something qualifies for excuse.
In ethics and law, excusability is crucial—a crime's excusability depends on circumstances like duress or insanity, and philosophers have debated for centuries what actually makes an action excusable versus merely understandable.
