Standard noun formation from the adjective 'contiguous' indicating a state or quality.
Etymology
Contiguity comes from Latin parts con- 'together' and tangere 'to touch', so it originally meant 'touching together'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of the English word 'touch' — contiguity means being next to or in direct contact with something.
