Why this word is great
CERTITUDE — [Noun] The state of being certain or convinced, especially based on subjective faith or conviction rather than objective proof. From Middle French certitude, from Late Latin certitūdō, from Latin certus ("sure, certain"). Unlike "certainty," which implies a sureness anchored in demonstrable fact, or "assurance," which suggests confidence borrowed from an external guarantee, certitude is an unshakeable inner weather, impervious to contrary data. It is the unblinking gaze of the zealot, the serene hand of a martyr on the pyre, and the absolute quiet in the heart of a believer who has never known doubt—a monument not to knowledge, but to the human will for bedrock, which is also its profound and perilous luxury.
noun
- Sureness, certainty.“I have absolute certitude about that.”
- Something that is a certainty.“Taxes are obviously certitudes.”
