The quality of being heroic; the characteristic of displaying hero-like courage, nobility, or greatness.
From Latin heroicus plus -ity (from Latin -itas), a Latinate suffix creating abstract nouns, appearing in words like heroicity alongside the Greek-rooted heroism.
English often has competing words from different languages—heroicity (Latin route) and heroism (Greek route) mean similar things, but heroism won because it's easier to pronounce and sounds less stuffy.
