Etymology
Excitability comes from excite, which originally meant 'to rouse' or 'wake up' and contains ex- 'out' with a root meaning 'move', similar to incite. So, excitability describes how easily a nerve, muscle, or other part can be roused, which is why doctors use it for high sensitivity in the body.
