Etymology
Derived from the verb 'zumuten' (to expect/demand of someone). The suffixes '-bar' (-able) and '-keit' (-ness) create the noun, meaning 'the quality of being reasonably expectable'.
Memory Tips
Break it down: 'zu' (to) + 'muten' (to expect). '-barkeit' makes it a noun for a quality. It's the quality of something you can reasonably expect from someone.
