solidity
Quality of sturdiness
Solidity is the quality of being solid—firm, substantial, not easily broken or moved.
A wall has solidity; so does an argument that can't be easily refuted.
The word suggests reliability and permanence: the solidity of their marriage, the solidity of the evidence.
In physical terms, solidity contrasts with liquidity or gaseous states.
