tangibilities
Things you touch
Tangibilities is the plural of tangibility, which refers to the quality of being real enough to touch or perceive directly.
In practical contexts, tangibilities often appear in business and philosophy discussions contrasting concrete, measurable assets or experiences with abstract ones.
The tangibilities of the investment—the land, the buildings—were easy to appraise, but the brand value was harder to pin down.
