Gnosticity

/nɑːˈstɪsɪti/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being gnostic; the degree to which something possesses gnostic characteristics or spiritual knowledge aspects.

Etymology

From gnostic + -ity (noun suffix creating abstract nouns). A rare philosophical term.

Kelly Says

Gnosticity is one of those rare philosophical terms that shows how English can theoretically create abstract nouns from almost any concept—it's technically valid but so specialized that most scholars would just say 'gnostic quality' instead.
