I think that "conspicuity" is a great word to have for the day, or  
even for life, Jez.  But "conspicuousnessless" has nothing to  
recommend it, mainly, I suppose, because it is based on non-word ...

I heard "illumined" the other day and realised that we have made  
"illuminate" to replace it -- for no good reason, I suspect.  The  
ghastly word "obligate" is even worser ... :-)
