consistency
Unwavering over time
Consistency is the quality of staying the same or holding together.
A substance has consistency—thick, thin, smooth, lumpy: Beat the batter to a smooth consistency.
Behavior has consistency when it doesn't vary: Her consistency in meeting deadlines made her invaluable.
Arguments have consistency when their parts don't contradict each other.
The word implies reliability, though critics might call the same quality rigidity.
