The answer

HANDY

What handy means

Useful, convenient, and easy to access or use, or skillful at manual tasks.

Where the word comes from

From Old English "handig," meaning having hands or skillful with the hands, formed from "hand" plus the suffix "-y." The word originally described someone dexterous or capable, then broadened to mean convenient or useful—something close at hand. This sense of proximity merged with the idea of manual skill to create the modern meaning of readily available and easy to use.
