suscepitibilis

Susceptibilis is a Latin adjective meaning capable of receiving, susceptible, or prone to be affected. In classical and post-classical Latin, the standard form is susceptibilis; the spelling suscepitibilis is not attested in traditional Latin and is generally considered a nonstandard variant or error. The related noun susceptibilitas denotes susceptibility or susceptibility to a thing.

Etymology and morphology: the word combines the verb suscipere, meaning to undertake or receive, with the common Latin adjectival suffix -bilis, which produces meanings like “able to be” or “worthy of.” As with other -ilis adjectives, susceptibilis agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case, within the limits of Latin grammar.

Usage in science and literature: susceptibilis appears in Latin-language medical, biological, and philosophical texts to describe something that is capable of undergoing an effect, such as a host or tissue that is susceptible to a disease, condition, or reaction. In modern scientific writing conducted in English, the direct Latin form is rarely used; instead, the English term susceptible is standard, and Latin adjectives like susceptibilis are mostly preserved only in Latin diagnoses, taxonomic descriptions, or scholarly discussions of historical terminology.

Related terms: susceptibilitas (susceptibility) is the noun form corresponding to the adjective, and related phrases or compound terms may appear in Latin texts to express concepts of vulnerability, receptiveness, or receptivity to influence, infection, or injury.

Overall, suscepitibilis appears chiefly as a nonstandard variant of susceptibilis; the latter is the established Latin form used in scholarly contexts. In contemporary usage, the English word susceptible remains the common choice outside of Latin texts.
