Continuedness

/ˌkɑntɪˈnjuɪdnəs/ noun

Definition

The state or quality of being continued or maintained without interruption.

Etymology

From continued + -ness. Similar to continuity but emphasizing the passive state of having been continued rather than the abstract quality of continuity.

Kelly Says

This noun form is rare—most writers prefer 'continuity,' but continuedness emphasizes that something has actually been kept going, making it more about action and maintenance than about the abstract concept.
