AFFORDANCE:

"When used in this sense, the term affordance refers to the perceived and actual properties of the thing, primarily those fundamental properties that determine just how the thing could possibly be used. A chair affords ("is for") support, and, therefore, affords sitting."
-Norman, Donald. The Design of Everyday Things, (p. 9)
