"Acceptance of what happens, without active response or resistance."
"Passivity" is a term used in Noah, and handed down by Mitsuharu Misawa to the All Japan and Noah dojo's, and is still used and taught today. The company surrounding Noah might have changed, but the training still very much remains untouched and belongs to the seniors.
"Passivity" basically means the skill to receive a technique. Misawa taught that to know how to do a move is not and was not enough, you must be able to "receive a technique" also just as well. The equivalent to this in the West would be "selling" or "how to sell".
