-icitysuffix

Primary stress is attracted to the first syllable of this suffix and vowels may be reduced accordingly.

a compound suffix, < French -icité, < Latin -icitāt-em (nominative -icitās), formed by the addition of the suffix -tāt- (see -ty suffix¹) to adjective stems in -ic(i), as rusticitās, lubricitās, < rustic-us, lubric-us. On the analogy of these (perhaps also influenced by nouns like simplicitās, felīcitās from simplex, felix), abstract nouns in -icité in French and -icity in English are formed freely upon adjectives of any origin in -ic: e.g. apostolicity, atomicity, authenticity, catholicity, domesticity, eccentricity, elasticity, electricity, publicity.
