recollectedness (uncountable)

  1. The quality of being recollected.
    • 1827, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, Rationale of Judicial Evidence, page 295:
      Thus much indeed is true, that in every instance there exists a point of time, down to which recollectedness and suggestedness are qualities of which no man's testimony can be deprived, unpremeditatedness and unsuggestedness qualities which no ingenuity on the part of the legislator can endow it with.
