waterability
Entendo que a palavra foi inventada pelo autor do texto, e se é para usar um neologismo, waterability me parece bom.
Example sentence:
"Este conjunto de características, <u>eu gosto e costumo chamar de</u> AQUACIDADE, um termo que remete ao sujeito que tem muito boa desenvoltura no ambiente aquático".
Note from asker:
| Olá, Lucia. Agradeço a sua participação, mas o termo usado pelo Matheus, acima, existe e é exatamente o que procuro. "Aquaticity is the capacity of a terrestrial mammalian organism to function and habitualise in the aquatic environment". Ref: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27210836 |
