Noun

causingness (uncountable)

  1. (philosophy) The quality or characteristic of being the cause of something.
    • 1829, John Stuart Mill, Analysis of the Phenomena of the Human Mind:
      The term Causation, as the author observes, signifies causingness and causedness taken together, but I do not see on what ground he asserts that it connotes present time.
