Etymology
'apacibilidad' originates from Spanish, formed from the adjective 'apacible' plus the noun-forming suffix '-idad'; 'apacible' comes from Latin 'appacibilis' (from 'appacare', to pacify).
'apacibilitas' in Late Latin influenced Old Spanish forms and produced the adjective 'apacible' and eventually the noun 'apacibilidad' in modern Spanish.
Initially related to the action 'to pacify' or 'make peaceful,' it evolved to denote the trait or quality of being calm or easily appeased in modern usage.
