appetibility singular

Morphology

appetibility = appetible (semi-transparent) = appetite + ible + ity

The noun is formed from the adjective 'appetible' + '-ity'; the adjective and the Latinate suffixes are uncommon, so the relation to 'appetite' is only partially obvious to learners.

Etymology

The word appetibility comes from the same root as appetite, from Latin appetere meaning 'to seek' or 'to desire'. So, appetibility is the quality of something that can make people want it or feel hungry.
