The state or quality of being doubtful or uncertain; a matter of doubt.
From Latin 'dubius' (doubtful) plus the abstract noun suffix '-ety,' which creates nouns denoting a state or quality. The same root appears in 'dubious' and 'dubiousness.'
Philosophers and scholars prefer 'dubiety' over 'doubt' when they want to sound more formal and precise—it's the kind of word that signals you're in a serious academic conversation.
