obtusity

Where it comes from

From obtuse + -ity, from Latin obtusitas.

noun obtusities

countable, uncountable obtuseness Some ladies would have thought it high time to leave the Squire alone with his chestnut tree; or, at all events, unnecessary to keep up that tone of high-souled feminine obtusity which they are quite justified in adopting if the gentlemen will not speak out—but Jane again does neither.
Similar: obtuseness
