Etymology
Negativity here still follows the idea of negative from Latin negare 'to say no', meaning 'not positive', but used in a technical way. In quantum science the name negativity points to the 'negative' parts in a calculation, and more negativity means the two parts of a system are more strongly linked (more entangled).
