Definition

Usage Examples

Etymology

incertitude comes from the French adjective incertain, which itself derives from Latin **in‑certus** (“not certain”), where *in‑* is a negation prefix and *certus* means “certain” or “sure.” The noun is formed by adding the feminine abstract suffix **‑ité** (from Latin *‑itas*), turning the adjective into an abstract quality. It entered French in the 14th century, evolving from the older form *incert* before the modern suffix was affixed.
