Duplexity

/duːˈplɛksɪtɪ/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being duplex or double; the condition of having two-fold nature or functioning in two ways simultaneously.

Etymology

From duplex plus the suffix -ity (forming abstract nouns). This creates a parallel to complexity, simplicity, and other -ity nouns describing qualities.

Kelly Says

The suffix -ity is one of English's most productive—you can add it to almost any adjective to create an abstract noun describing that quality, which is why duplexity works.
