reliability (n.)

"可靠的状态或品质"，1816年，柯勒律治创造，由 reliable 和 -ity 组成。在统计学中，自1910年起。

[Coleridge] evades the only charge brought against [Southey], by repelling one not brought against him, except by his Antijacobin patrons—and answers for his friend, as if he was playing at cross-purposes. Some people say, that Mr Southey has deserted the cause of liberty : Mr Coleridge tells us, that he has not separated from his wife. They say, that he has changed his opinions : Mr Coleridge says, that he keeps his appointments ; and has even invented a new word, reliability, to express his exemplariness in this particular. [from a review of "Biographia Literaria" in Edinburgh Review, August 1817]

“（柯勒律治）回避了（南锡）唯一的指控，却反驳了一个除了他的反雅各宾赞助人以外没有人提出的指控，并且像在玩猜谜游戏一样为他的朋友辩护。有些人说南锡先生背叛了自由的事业：柯勒律治先生告诉我们，他没有和他的妻子分开。他们说他改变了自己的观点：柯勒律治先生说，他按时赴约；甚至发明了一个新词 reliability，来表达他在这方面的典范。”（引自1817年8月《爱丁堡评论》对《文学传记》的评论）

[Fowler] 大致上，以 -ity 结尾的词通常表示形容词所描述的品质，或具体的品质实例，或所有实例的集合；以 -ism 结尾的词表示倾向或所有感受到这种倾向的人的集合。[福勒] reliable (adj.) 1560年代， raliabill，“可信赖的，值得依赖的”，最初源自苏格兰；参见 rely + -able。在1850年之前并不常见，之后在英国经常被谴责为美国用语，因为它涉及到 -able 在 provable 等中使用不同于其在古典拉丁语中的用法，且没有得到保证。但是，它在 available 、laughable 、livable 、dependable； indispensable 等词缀的意义上被辞典（如 OED、Century Dictionary 等）辩护。相关词汇： Reliably; reliableness。作为名词，“可靠的人、动物或物品”，最早见于1890年（带有 old）。 Reliable expresses what cannot be expressed by any other one word. Moreover, it conveys an idea of constant occurrence. He who would be exact has, indeed, no alternative, if he avoids it except a periphrasis. [Fitzedward Hall, "On English Adjectives in -Able," 1877] Reliable 表达了其他任何一个词都无法表达的意思。此外，它传达了一个持续发生的想法。确切的人没有选择，如果他避免它，除了使用迂回的说法之外。[菲茨爱德华·霍尔，“论以-able 结尾的英语形容词”，1877年] 使用频率
