evenhandedness

/ˈivənˈhændɪdnəs/ noun

The quality of being evenhanded; fairness, impartiality.

Word Origin Evenhanded means having equal hands — fair, impartial. Even from Old English 'efen' (equal, level). Hand from Old English 'hand'. Evenhandedness is the quality of being fair. The same 'even' gives us evenly, uneven, and evenness. The 'hand' root gives us handy, handle, handbook. So evenhandedness is literally 'equal-handed-ness'.
