Cyclicity

/saɪˈklɪsəti/ noun

Definition

The quality or character of being cyclic; the state of recurring in regular cycles or patterns.

Etymology

From 'cyclic' plus the abstract noun suffix '-ity' (from Latin -itas). The '-ity' suffix is the preferred academic way to name abstract qualities of adjectives.

Kelly Says
