The quality of being familiar; close acquaintance or intimate knowledge of something; informality or lack of formality.
From Latin 'familiāris' (domestic, intimate) plus the suffix '-ity.' The root 'familia' originally meant 'household' and evolved to mean 'close association or knowledge.'
Familarity breeds contempt, the old saying goes—but it also breeds comfort, understanding, and trust, which is why humans naturally bond with people and things we see again and again!
