I took a liking to the word Elusivity even though I couldnt recall ever seeing it. But I am reknown for inventing words when one doesnt yet exist to describe what i wanna say and I do understand how suffixes and prefixes change the context of the word. So what do you think - elusiveness describes the state of being of the topic in question, be it living, concrete or abstract. It means difficult to see, find, catch, attain.. Elusiveness is the condition itself. When ivity is added to a word, the impact it has is to reference the degree of the concept word being used. Therefore Elusivity would mean open a discussion on HOW elusive the topic point has been and in what manner, and even WHY. So Elusivity would mean the degree and conditions of being elusive. Yes? sound logical? Thereis no definition on the net and and and, if you guys agree, does this make me the creator of the word definition? Never done anything like that before.
