Condensity

/kənˈdɛnsɪti/ noun

Definition

The quality or degree of being condensed or dense; a measure of how compressed or tightly packed something is.

Etymology

From Latin condensus (past participle of condensare) + -ity suffix forming abstract nouns from adjectives. The suffix -ity indicates a state, quality, or degree of something.

Kelly Says

Though rarely used in modern English (we typically say 'density' instead), 'condensity' emphasizes the active process of becoming dense rather than just the static property—it's like the difference between 'heating' and 'heat.'
