Samuel Johnson's Dictionary

  1. Preteritnessnoun

    State of being past; not presence; not futurity.

    Etymology: from preterit.

    We cannot conceive a preteritness still backwards in infinitum, that never was present, as we can an endless futurity, that never will be present; so that though one is potentially infinite, yet nevertheless the other is positively finite: and this reasoning doth not at all affect the eternal existence of the adorable divinity, in whose invariable nature there is no past nor future. Richard Bentley, Sermons.

Webster Dictionary

  1. Preteritnessnoun

    the quality or state of being past
