comparativeness

/kəmˈpɛɹətɪvnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being comparative.

Word Origin From Latin comparare 'to match, couple,' from com- 'together' and par 'equal' — compare literally means 'to bring together as equals.' The -ative suffix makes it an adjective, and -ness a noun: the quality of being comparative. The same root gives us parity, disparity, and peer (equal).

noun The state or quality of being comparative. countable
