Anonymity is the state of other people not knowing who you are — your name, your face, or the trail that would point to you. On the internet, people talk about online anonymity: writing or browsing without a real name attached. In research, anonymity means a scientist cannot tie an answer back to one person. It is a slightly formal noun. The everyday way is no one knows who it was, or they did not give their name. People also stretch it in a gentler sense: a huge city can give you the anonymity of the crowd — not a fake name, just the feeling that nobody is looking at you. Though actually, anonymity is not the same as privacy. Privacy is “this is mine, please do not look.” Anonymity is “you may look, but you still will not know it is me.”
組成From Latin anonymus or Greek anṓnymos, “anonymous” (an- “not” + ónyma “name”) + -ity (the state of being that way).
