standardness
State of conformity
Standardness is the quality of being standard—conforming to established norms or expectations.
The word appears mostly in technical contexts where deviation from a baseline matters: The standardness of the components made repairs easy.
In linguistics, standardness refers to how closely speech or writing adheres to prestige forms of a language.
