expectedness
This term describes the degree to which an event aligns with a person's predictions or the logical progression of a sequence. It is frequently employed in technical, academic, or analytical contexts, such as literary criticism or probability theory, to quantify how predictable a specific outcome is.
Because it is an abstract quality derived from the state of being expected, it functions as a mass noun. It does not have a plural form and cannot be counted individually; instead, it is measured in degrees, such as high or low expectedness.
