Etymology
The word equivocalness comes from Latin parts equi- meaning 'equal' and voc- from vocare meaning 'to call', the same root you see in vocal. So it suggests being 'called the same', and if something can be 'called the same' in different ways it has 'more than one possible meaning', which is why equivocalness means uncertainty or ambiguity.
