Where it comes from
From Latin as if *causalitas, from causalis (“causal”), from causa (“cause”). By surface analysis, causal + -ity = cause + -ality.
noun causalities
- The agency of a cause; the action or power of a cause, in producing its effect.
- The relationship between something that happens or exists and the thing that causes it; the cause and consequence relationship. But how do transformations like the evolution of language take place? A scientist looks for a cause inside time; a mystic knows that causality is essentially a process that is outside time-space.
