doubtlessness

/ˈdaʊtɫəsnəs/ noun

The property of being doubtless.

Word Origin From Latin dubitare 'to waver, be uncertain,' which comes from duo 'two' — literally 'to be of two minds.' Doubtlessness is the state of being without doubt. The suffix -less from Proto-Germanic lausaz 'devoid of' and -ness from nassuz 'state.' The root also gives us 'doubtful,' 'dubious,' and 'indubitable' (not doubtable). The PIE root *dwo- meant 'two,' so doubt is being split.
