Jul 12, 2015 at 16:25 comment added Jim @StoneyB- but I can produce both hypotheticality and hypotheticalness. Ngrams say the former is much more prevalent but it also shows a bump in 1870’s where the opposite appears to be true. I’m on my phone so I didn’t investigate further.

Jul 12, 2015 at 13:48 comment added StoneyB on hiatus It's a regular construction through a productive derivation with a predictable meaning; I don't see why any dictionary would feel constrained to list it.

Jul 12, 2015 at 12:39 comment added CocoPop Well, I got a list of books on GOOGLE.BOOKS that cite this word in very reliable sources. Maybe you and I don't have the same google, but in my search I read articles about "The Hypotheticality Continuum in Russian," the "hypotheticality of human action" in philosophy, the "hypotheticality of a resumptive protasis" in Arabic, the "hypotheticality of the apodosis" in English poetry, the hypotheticality inherent in Newton's Law, and many more. I think it's safe to say it's a word.
