lucidity
(once / 1663 pages)
n

A good word definition should be characterized by its lucidity, or clarity. In other words, it should be clear and easy to understand — like this one.
Lucidity comes from the Latin lucidus meaning "light, bright, clear." Certainly when something is light, bright, and clear, it's ripe with the quality of lucidity. An easy-to-read textbook is characterized by lucidity. A person too can possess a quality of lucidity, one that would allow her to express ideas as clearly as possible.
WORD FAMILY
lucidity: elucidate, lucidities+/elucidate: elucidated, elucidates, elucidating, elucidation, elucidative/elucidation: elucidations/elucidative: elucidatively/lucid: lucidest, lucidity, lucidly, lucidness
