Definition
The quality or state of being Gothic in style, character, or spirit.
Etymology
From Gothic + -ity (suffix forming abstract nouns). Emerged in the 19th century as critics and scholars needed a word to describe the essential qualities that made something 'Gothic' rather than merely decorated in Gothic style.
Kelly Says
Gothicity is basically the DNA of Gothic-ness—what makes a cathedral feel spooky and dramatic versus just old. It's the same impulse that made us invent 'coolness' instead of just saying 'that thing is cool.'
