equitableness
Justice for all
Equitableness is the quality of being fair and impartial, treating all parties with equal consideration.
It describes a commitment to justice that accounts for individual circumstances rather than rigid application of rules.
The judge was known for the equitableness of her decisions.
The word is rarely encountered; speakers nearly always prefer the shorter equity or fairness to convey the same idea.
