predictabilities
Qualities ensuring foreseeability
Predictabilities is the plural of predictability—the quality of behaving or occurring in expected, consistent ways.
The word appears most often in technical or academic contexts discussing multiple sources or types of predictability: The study measured the predictabilities of various economic indicators.
In everyday speech, the singular form dominates.
