Accepted Answer

['æmɪkəbl] 
amicablecharacterized by friendship and good will
The adjective amicable means "friendly" — but in particular, use it when describing relations one might otherwise expect to be unfriendly. The end of a romantic relationship that's less than amicable might involve broken dishes or broken bones.
Amicable, not surprisingly, comes from the Latin word for "friend," amicus. Perhaps the things most commonly described as amicable are divorces. The parties in a divorce often tend to be so childish and the proceedings so messy that it's nice to have a word that reflects the absence of those qualities. Other nouns that commonly pair with amicable include relationship, split, parting, solution, and breakup.

    Amicable refers to a friendliness or  goodwill between people or groups. Amiable refers to one person's  friendly disposition. A group might have an amicable meeting, because the people there  are amiable. 
    Amicable comes from the Latin amicabilis, for friendly, which can be traced to the Latin amicus, for friend. Here  are some friendly examples:

Through an email, Sala said negotiations have been  very amicable and that both sides are motivated to get a deal done.  (Seattle Times)
      
        It was a relatively amicable divorce and  at least they remain on speaking terms. (BBC)
      
        The split was amicable, Mr. Robbins said, with  his former partner breaking even on the sale and returning to the music  business. (New York Times)

Amiable also comes from the Late Latin amicabilis, with a stop in Old French as amiable before English adopted it. Some  experts use amiable to describe only people, but amiable is also  used to describe things being sociable or agreeable, like an amiable tone of voice. It's usually used  for people, though:

A tall, amiable man, he wears a white hard  hat with "JOE" written in faded marker on the front. (Washington Post)
      
        One former roommate described him as amiable and talkative. (New York Times)

Amicable refers to the connections  between people or things, like a friendly situation with a crowd. Take out the  "c" for crowd and you're left with amiable,  one friendly person.
