The quality or state of being equivocal; ambiguity or the capacity to be interpreted in multiple ways.
From 'equivocal' (adjective) with the suffix '-ness' (state or quality). This is an alternative nominalization to 'equivocality,' using the Germanic '-ness' suffix instead of the Latinate '-ity.'
English gives us both 'equivocality' and 'equivocalness'—the Latinate version sounds more formal and intellectual, while '-ness' feels more casual, showing how synonyms can signal educational level and tone.
