representativeness

/ˌɹɛpɹəˈzɛnətɪvnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being representative.

Word Origin From Latin re- 'again' and presentare 'to present' — literally 'present again.' To represent is to stand in for something, to present it again. Representativeness is the quality of being a good stand-in. The same root gives us representation, present, presence, and absent (being away). The PIE root *es- 'to be' underlies essence and interest.
