Usage Note
Ilegalidad is the abstract noun for the state or quality of being illegal; the concrete countable sense ('an illegality', 'a violation') also exists. It ends in -dad, a suffix that always produces feminine nouns — a reliable rule for learners. The opposite is legalidad.
Examples
"La ilegalidad de esa práctica es evidente."
Natural Translation
The illegality of that practice is obvious.
