Tactility is a noun that refers to the capability of being felt or touched.

The Latin word Tactilis (tack TEEL ees) means ‘touch.’ From this word comes the English word tactile, an adjective that means ‘that which can perceived by touch.’ Our word of the day is a noun that refers to the ability to be felt or touched, for example: There is something about the tactility of a print book as opposed to an ebook that makes it a better reading experience for me. That fact that you can touch and feel its cover makes reading it more engaging.
