U-ness

Noun CEFR B1

Definitions

The state or quality of being U (characteristic of the upper classes, particularly in the use of language).

dated, uncommon, uncountable

Examples

“But I do not think⟳ that this marks any contrast between the concepts of redness and U-ness. Even with the biconditional linking U-ness with Sloanes, it is possible to offer⟳ a contingent reading that expands the possibilities of error. It is possible to understand⟳ the biconditional so that what matters for U-ness at any world is what the Sloane Square set⟳ says in the actual world, not what it says at the world in question⟳.”
