normality
Typical state of affairs
Normality is the state of being normal—conforming to what is typical, expected, or standard.
It often appears in discussions of social behavior, where people debate what constitutes normality and who gets to define it.
After months of upheaval, we're finally returning to some sense of normality.
In chemistry, normality is a specific measure of solution concentration.
British English sometimes prefers normalcy for the general sense, though both forms are widely understood.
