amenable
UK: əˈmiːnəbl | US: əˈmiːnəbl
adj. willing to cooperate or be influenced; open to suggestion or control
adj. capable of being legally subjected to something (e.g., jurisdiction)
Derived from Old French "amenable" (answerable to authority), itself from Latin "ad-" + "mināre." The core idea is "capable of being led" (physically or morally). Over time, it shifted from literal obedience ("led to") to figurative willingness ("open to influence"). The legal sense ("subject to jurisdiction") reflects its root in accountability.
