identicalness

/aɪˈdɛntɪkəɫnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being identical.

Word Origin From Latin idem 'the same' — identical means 'the same,' and identicalness is the state of sameness. The root gives us identity, identify, and identification. The PIE root *ei- 'this, that' also gives us 'item' (also, likewise). The word 'identical' is a great example of how a simple pronoun became a philosophical concept.
