Dubiety

noun/dyoo-BY-uh-tee/

A feeling of doubt or uncertainty about something.

Despite some dubiety, the class agreed to try the new game.

Dubiety shares 'dub' with 'dubious' — both come from doubt, so dubiety is a state of doubt.

Use 'dubiety' as a formal word for doubt or uncertainty; rare but exam-worthy.
