intelligibilityn.

Brit.

/ɪnˌtɛlᵻdʒᵻˈbɪlᵻti/, U.S.

/ɪnˌtɛlədʒəˈbɪlᵻdi/

Forms: 1600s intelligibilitie, 1600s– intelligibility.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin intelligibilitas.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin intelligibilitas capacity to understand, intelligence (9th cent.), quality of being understood (13th cent.) < classical Latin intelligibilis intelligible adj. + -tās (see -ty suffix¹; compare -ity suffix). Compare French intelligibilité (1712), Catalan intel·ligibilitat (14th cent.), Italian intelligibilità (1611 in Florio, or earlier; a1565 as intellegibilità ), all in sense ‘quality or character of being intelligible’. Compare slightly later intelligibleness n. and (with sense 1) earlier intelligible n.

1. Chiefly Philosophy. That which is intelligible; = intelligible n.
