Genericalness

/dʒəˈnɛrɪkəlnəs/ noun

Etymology

From 'generical' plus the noun suffix '-ness', creating an abstract noun that names the quality itself. This follows standard English nominalization patterns.

Kelly Says

The 'genericalness' of a drug name (like ibuprofen vs. Advil) reveals how capitalism tries to make us pay more for identical molecules just because of the brand on the bottle.
