diluteness

/daɪˈɫutnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being dilute.

Word Origin From Latin dis- 'apart' and luere 'to wash' — literally 'washing apart, thinning out.' Dilute means to weaken by adding water, like washing away strength. Diluteness is the state of being thinned. The same root luere gives us ablution (washing away) and pollution (defiling, originally 'washing over' with filth). Antediluvian (before the flood) uses a related root for 'wash' (diluvium).
