-eity
[cf. Fr. -éité]
termination of nouns of quality or condition corresp. to adjs. in -eous, on the model of L. idoneus idoneous, late L. idoneĭtās idoneity (1617), scholastic L. homogeneus homogeneous, homogeneitās homogeneity (1625). Among other early examples are spontaneity (1651), subterraneity (1686), consentaneity (1798). Two exceptional mod.L. formations ecceitās (f. ecce lo, behold), velleitās (f. velle to will) gave ecceity (1549), velleity (l6l8). |
