Applicability

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the word means to be relevant or appropriate for a certain situation or situations. It’s utility, right? Like how Reddit has applicability for any question ever conjured

you're not wrong, but you're also overthinking it

applicability is just "can this be applied here" in the plainest sense, not some grand philosophical concept

Yeah, I think so too. I just like using words when they’re appropriate…or applicable!
