estabilidad
|es-ta-bi-li-dad|
/es.ta.βi.liˈðað/
quality of being stable
Etymology
'estabilidad' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'stabilitas', where the root 'stabilis' meant 'firm, stable' and the suffix '-tas' indicated a noun of quality.
'estabilidad' changed from the Latin word 'stabilitas' and passed through Late Latin/Old French forms (e.g. 'stabilite') before becoming the modern Spanish 'estabilidad'.
Initially, it meant 'firmness' or 'steadiness' in a physical sense, and over time the meaning broadened to include abstract senses such as economic, social, or emotional stability.
