ivity

"ivity" and "icity" are alternative suffixes for Latin words with stems ending in c (e.g., mendax, mendacis; thence, mendacity), and though subjecticity rings in our ears as the sort of barbarism we're used to encountering in the writing of social scientists and undergraduates, it is not quite a non-word, not simply improper or wrong.
