The degree or measure of how strongly or likely a substance is to cause cancer.
From 'carcinogenic' plus the suffix '-ity' (quality or state). This noun form allows scientists to compare and rate the cancer-causing potential of different substances systematically.
The carcinogenicity of a chemical depends on dose, exposure time, and individual genetics—even water could theoretically be 'carcinogenic' if consumed in dangerous amounts (though it isn't), which is why 'the dose makes the poison.'
