trueness
State of accuracy
Trueness is the quality of being true—accurate, faithful, or aligned with fact.
A measurement's trueness is how close it comes to the actual value.
The trueness of a friend is their loyalty; the trueness of a statement is its accuracy.
The word overlaps with truth but emphasizes the quality itself rather than what possesses it.
