spissitude

Where it comes from

From Middle English spissitude, from Old French spissitude and Latin spissitūdō, from spissus (“thick”).

noun spissitudes

countable, uncountable, of liquids Density, thickness; the state or quality of being inspissated or thickened. The cause is, for that it is over-moistened, and wanteth spissitude: and we have a merry saying, that they that go drunk to bed get daughters.
countable, uncountable Spiritual substance or density, viewed as the fourth dimension of an object. Bodies in and of themselves lack spissitude. But since, in nature, all bodies are permeated by spirit of some kind, the ability of a complex body to maintain its size indicates a certain, constant spissitude.
