Why “infinitude” is a great word
INFINITUDE — [Noun] The inherent state or quality of being boundless or without limit. From Old French infinité, from Latin infinitas ("unlimitedness"), from in- ("not") + finis ("end, limit") + -tas (noun-forming suffix). First attested in English in the mid-17th century. Unlike "infinity," which often denotes an abstract mathematical quantity, or "vastness," which suggests immense but conceivable scale, infinitude names the essential condition of having no end. It is the silence that follows counting stars, the recursive depth of a mirror reflecting a mirror, and the vertigo of contemplating an endlessly long coastline—a word not for measuring, but for naming the quiet, vertiginous recognition of the un-measurable.
