The quality or character of being coxcombical; foolish vanity or pretentious behavior.
From 'coxcombical' with the suffix '-ity,' which converts adjectives into abstract nouns representing qualities or states.
The longer you make these coxcomb words, the more formal and ridiculous they sound—'coxcombicality' is so elaborate that it almost parodies academic language, which is probably the point.
Nominalized abstraction of coxcombical. Refers to the quality of foolish vanity rooted in male court jester tradition.
Use 'vanity,' 'foolishness,' or 'ostentation' instead.
