nonconductivity

Meanings

1. 1
   noun

   the property or condition of not transmitting heat, electricity, sound, or another form of energy

   The nonconductivity of the ceramic layer protects the instrument from electrical current.

Formed from non- + conductivity, ultimately from Latin conducere, 'to lead or bring together.' The noun names an absence or very low degree of conduction; nineteenth-century scientific prose often wrote it with a hyphen, as non-conductivity.
