Can anybody tell me if there is a name for a type of word used to describe something absolute? for example: Always, Never, Everywhere, Nowhere, Everything, and Nothing. I use the word Absolution for them but that's wrong.
FA+

Looking at my well-worn 'Synonym Finder' gives-
perfect, complete, entire, whole, comprehensive, total, ideal, consummate; full, plenary; uncut, solid, undivided, pure, clean, clear, faultless, flawless, unadulterated,,, ultimate, omnipotent, infallible.
For starters?
The word 'Absoluteness' is real, but reads/pronounces a bit awkwardly.
Good luck!
adjective
of the highest quality or degree.
(of an adjective or adverb) expressing the highest or a very high degree of a quality (e.g., bravest, most fiercely ).
noun
a superlative adjective or adverb.
an exaggerated or hyperbolical expression of praise.
something or someone embodying excellence.
I was never good with parts of speech.
btw, the word "Lethologica" describes the state of not being able to remember the word you want.
I experience that all too much...
