entità

entity; magnitude

noun en-tee-TAH Less Common
Numbers & Measures Quantities

Origin: Latin entitas, from ens (being)

Usage Note

Entità is invariable in the plural — le entità does not add a new ending because the final stressed vowel freezes the form. It is used both for abstract entities (un'entità giuridica = a legal entity) and for the scale or magnitude of something (l'entità del danno = the extent of the damage).

Examples

"L'entità del danno è ancora sconosciuta."

Natural Translation

The extent of the damage is still unknown.
