For what it's worth
I see "applicabilis" in medieval / Renaissance Latin (Aquinas being the earliest from a cursory search); the earliest cited English examples in OED are much later.

Re: For what it's worth
Interesting. The OED doesn't mention the existence of applicabilis, although it does mention applicabile from Italian in 1611.
