The quality or state of being external, outer, or outside; the outward or visible aspect as distinguished from the inner or hidden aspect.
From Latin exterioritas, from exterior (external). The -ity suffix forms an abstract noun describing the quality of being exterior or external.
Philosophers use 'exteriority' to discuss whether external reality exists independently of our minds—it's a fundamental word in debates about how the outside world relates to internal consciousness.
