Humility vs Humble:

Humility in its purest form is “the quality or state of being humble,” which would imply that it’s not a trait but instead an inherent quality. But in both dictionary definitions humble is listed as an adjective meaning “not arrogant; modest; unassuming,” and thereby implying that humility can be learnt.
