Plural of dubiety; instances or states of doubt, uncertainty, or matters that are doubtful.
From Latin 'dubius' meaning doubtful, with the suffix '-iety' (as in society, variety). The word 'dubiety' itself is less common than 'dubiousness,' but follows standard Latin word formation rules.
Medieval philosophers loved the word 'dubiety' because it let them categorize different *kinds* of doubt—not just whether something was uncertain, but *how much* doubt existed, which was crucial for theological arguments.
