Facility
FACIL'ITY, n. [L. facilitas, from facilis, easy.]
1. Easiness to be performed; freedom from difficulty; ease. He performed the work or operation with great facility.
Though facility and hope of success might invite some other choice.
2. Ease of performance; readiness proceeding from skill or use; dexterity. Practice gives a wonderful facility in executing works of art.
3. Pliancy; ductility; easiness to be persuaded; readiness of compliance, usually in a bad sense, implying a disposition to yield to solicitations to evil.
It is a great error to take facility for good nature: tenderness without discretion, is no better than a more pardonable folly.
4. Easiness of access; complaisance; condescension; affability.
He offers himself to the visits of a friend with facility.
