consolability
Able to be calmed
Consolability is the capacity to be comforted or soothed.
The term appears most often in medical and childcare contexts, where a patient's or infant's consolability helps assess their condition: The nurse noted the baby's consolability after feeding.
A child who cannot be consoled may be in serious distress, making consolability a diagnostic marker.
