unambiguousness

/ˌənæmˈbɪɡjəwəsnəs/ noun

The property of being unambiguous.

Word Origin 'Ambiguous' comes from Latin 'ambi-' (both sides) and 'agere' (to drive) — literally 'driving around both ways,' so uncertain. Unambiguousness is the state of being not ambiguous, with 'un-' and '-ness' stacking on. The same 'ambi-' prefix gives us ambidextrous (both right hands) and ambient (going around). The root 'agere' is incredibly productive: action, navigate, exact.
