customariness
State of normalcy
Customariness is the quality or state of being customary—that is, following established practice or convention.
The word describes how habitual, traditional, or routine something has become within a particular context or culture.
The customariness of the greeting made it feel automatic rather than sincere.
It appears rarely in everyday speech, showing up mainly in formal or academic writing where precision about degrees of conventionality matters.
