triviality
This term describes a lack of importance or a focus on the inconsequential. It often carries a dismissive or critical tone, suggesting that something is not worth the time or effort being spent on it. When used in the plural, it refers to specific minor details or petty concerns. While the singular form often describes an abstract quality of insignificance, the plural form points to concrete examples of unimportant things.
