'litigability' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'litigare,' where 'lit-' meant 'lawsuit' and 'agere' meant 'to drive or act.'

'litigare' transformed into the French word 'litigable,' and eventually became the modern English word 'litigability' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'the ability to be involved in a lawsuit,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
