fatuityn.

Brit.

/fəˈtjuːᵻti/,

/fəˈtʃuːᵻti/, U.S.

/fəˈt(j)uədi/

Etymology: < French fatuité = Provençal fatuitat, < Latin fatuitātem, < fatuus foolish.

a. Folly, silliness, stupidity. Now chiefly (? after 2) in stronger sense: Crass stupidity, ‘idiotic’ folly; mental blindness caused by ‘infatuation’.The French word, being associated with its etymological cognate fat fop, has usually the sense of ‘conceited folly, silly affectation’; this sense, if it occurs in English, is only a Gallicism.
