definiteness

/ˈdɛfənətnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being definite.

Word Origin From Latin de- 'down, off' and finis 'boundary, end' — definite means 'bounded off', clearly limited. The root finis gives us finite (having an end), infinite (without end), and finish (to end). The -ness suffix turns it into the quality of being clearly defined.

noun The state or quality of being definite. countable
