Virtualität

Virtualität ist die Eigenschaft einer Sache, nicht in der Form zu existieren, in der sie zu existieren scheint, aber in ihrem Wesen oder ihrer Wirkung einer in dieser Form existierenden Sache zu gleichen. Das Wort führt über den französischen Begriff virtuel (fähig zu wirken, möglich) zurück auf das lateinische Wort virtus (Tugend, Tapferkeit, Tüchtigkeit, Kraft, Männlichkeit).
