availability
State of obtainability
Availability is the state of being accessible or obtainable.
A product's availability determines whether you can buy it; a person's availability determines whether they can meet.
The word often implies readiness for use or action: Check the doctor's availability for next week.
In dating contexts, availability suggests being single or open to romantic interest.
