conceptuality

/kənsˌɛptʃuˈælᵻɾi/ noun

the state or quality of being conceptual

Word Origin Conceptuality is the quality of being conceptual. Concept comes from Latin concipere 'to take together' — con- 'together' + capere 'to take'. So a concept is something the mind 'takes together' to form an idea. The root capere is incredibly productive: capture, accept (take to), except (take out), perceive (take through), receive (take back). The PIE *kap- 'to grasp' is at the heart of all these.
