Etymology
Virtuality comes from the Latin word virtus, meaning 'power', and the idea of being 'in effect' rather than physically present, the same root as virtue. So virtuality can mean something exists as a possibility or in effect, like an idea that is real for the mind but not yet a physical thing.
