Etymology
'conciliability' originates from Latin, specifically the verb 'conciliāre' (to bring together) and the adjective-forming element '-bilis' (able to be), with the English noun-forming suffix '-ity'.
'conciliāre' in Latin (to bring together, reconcile) gave rise to Late Latin/Medieval Latin forms and then to Middle English/French influences as 'conciliate' (verb). From the adjective 'conciliable' (able to be conciliated) English formed the noun 'conciliability'.
Initially it meant 'to bring together or unite' (in the sense of conciliating parties); over time the focus shifted to the property 'able to be reconciled or placated,' which is the modern meaning.
