intangibilities
Things without substance
Intangibilities are things that cannot be touched or physically grasped.
The word usually refers to abstract qualities or assets—goodwill, reputation, morale, brand recognition: The merger's value lay partly in intangibilities like customer loyalty.
In accounting, intangible assets contrast with physical property and equipment.
