Quote from ‘Definitions for Baldwin's Dictionary [R]’

Term: 
Modality
Quote: 

The qualification of a predication on the one hand, or of a being on the other, in respect to possibility and necessity. Although assertoriness, with it metaphysical correspondent, actuality, is the absence of modality, yet it has to be considered from the point of view of modality.
