amenability

Openness to persuasion

Amenability is the quality of being open to suggestion, influence, or control.

Someone with amenability to reason can be persuaded by good arguments.

The word often appears in contexts where responsiveness matters: the amenability of the disease to treatment, his amenability to compromise made negotiations possible.

It suggests a yielding disposition without implying weakness.
