Facilities (f[.a]*s[i^]l"[i^]*t[i^]z). [L. facilitas, fr.
facilis easy: cf. F. facilit['e]. See Facile.]
1. The quality of being easily performed; freedom from
difficulty; ease; as, the facility of an operation.
[1913 Webster]
The facility with which government has been
overturned in France. --Burke.
[1913 Webster]
2. Ease in performance; readiness proceeding from skill or
use; dexterity; as, practice gives a wonderful facility in
executing works of art.
[1913 Webster]
3. Easiness to be persuaded; readiness or compliance; --
usually in a bad sense; pliancy.
[1913 Webster]

[1913 Webster]
5. That which promotes the ease of any action or course of
conduct; advantage; aid; assistance; -- usually in the

Syn: Ease; expertness; readiness; dexterity; complaisance;
condescension; affability.
Usage: Facility, Expertness, Readiness. These words
have in common the idea of performing any act with
ease and promptitude. Facility supposes a natural or
acquired power of dispatching a task with lightness
and ease. Expertness is the kind of facility acquired
by long practice. Readiness marks the promptitude with
which anything is done. A merchant needs great
facility in dispatching business; a banker, great
expertness in casting accounts; both need great
readiness in passing from one employment to another.
"The facility which we get of doing things by a custom
of doing, makes them often pass in us without our
notice." --Locke. "The army was celebrated for the
expertness and valor of the soldiers." "A readiness to
obey the known will of God is the surest means to
enlighten the mind in respect to duty."
