From Late Middle English sensibilite, from Middle French sensibilité and Old French sensibilité (characteristic or state of being capable of sensation) (modern sensibilité), and from their etymon sēnsibilitās, from Latin sēnsibilis (detectable; perceptible, sensible) (from sentiō (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sent- (to perceive; to think)) + -bilis) + -tās. sensible.
