Word to the Wise: Catholicity
Archives: Word to the Wise
Catholicity (kath-uh-LIS-ih-tee) — from the Greek for “universal” — is the quality of being all-inclusive.
Example (as used by James Wolcott in Vanity Fair): “In my bohemian days … I owned a jukebox — a huge honker, a neon-trimmed sarcophagus — which I studiously stocked with 45s to showcase the catholicity of my pop sensibility … .”
