Etymology
Derived from the adjective 'beliebt' (popular) with the noun-forming suffix '-heit', which is similar to '-ness' or '-hood' in English.
Memory Tips
The suffix '-heit' turns adjectives into abstract nouns. Just like 'schön' (beautiful) -> 'Schönheit' (beauty), 'beliebt' becomes 'Beliebtheit'.
