Certitude

(pronounced suhr-tuh-tood or suhr-tuh-tyood; “oo” pronounced as in “boot” and not as in “book”)  noun

Definition

1. the state of being certain (that something is the case); having a feeling of complete sureness and confidence; total freedom from doubt. 2. certainty; inevitability.

(Helpful tip: unlike its synonym certainty, which usually implies the presence of objective proof, certitude is based more on personal belief or unquestioning faith.)
