Derived from the latin term "terrere" meaning 'to fill with fear' its meaning refers to the "potential" or "ability" to blunder or make mistakes frequently or to be terrible often with long-lasting results. Commonly utilised as an adjective or descriptive noun in a title, it is a linguistic cousin to ‘terrible’. E.g: Ivan the Terrability
Its origin can be indelibly traced back to the 12th century in Europe, although the exact instance and location is not certain, it is widely regarded to be first expressed in Petwēd (now Gjirokastër) Albania. Notable contemporary uses of the term on record are featured in Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares S05, E10 and Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Uknown S11 E06.

Terrabilities: human created structural barriers in all aspects of life that impose limitations on individuals with disabilities (combines theories on ableism and choice, vis-a-vis the 'ability' to contribute to 'terrible' outcomes). Examples: (1) inaccessible product design, (2) undue hardships in receiving legally mandated services, (3) societal attitudes
