The quality or characteristic of being farcical; the aspect of something that makes it seem absurd or ridiculous.
Formed from 'farcical' plus the suffix '-ness,' which creates abstract nouns from adjectives. The '-ness' suffix comes from Old English and Germanic roots and is one of the oldest English word-formation tools.
English gives us two ways to nominalize 'farcical'—both 'farcicality' and 'farcicalness' mean nearly the same thing, but '-ness' is older, more Germanic, and more commonly used in everyday speech, while '-ity' is Latinate and sounds more formal.
