"conspicuity"
Can you tell me if it is a common English word?
Does it come from the old language?
 
I hazarded a guess that it means "conspicuousness". I checked and it does. As you've probably guessed, given that I had to look it up, it's not a common word. Where did you come across the word? Are you trying to use it in a sentence? If so, you need to give us the complete sentence.
What do you mean by "the old language"?

I'm trying to build a brand using this word that's why I'm asking if it's a commonly used word so I can decide if my choice was good or not.
I mean by the old langue: conspicuity is a purely English word or not!

I wouldn't use that word to "build a brand".
How about "prominence"?
 
It is becoming more common according to Google Ngrams, but I can't say that I had noticed. I wouldn't use it for a brand because many will find it difficult to say.

All extensions are taken (I mean the extension of the domain name ex: dot com dot net ....) couldn't find any interesting one using this word ... thank you so much for your suggestion

Thank you so much ... yes I will use this Tool to verify other keywords and see what I can find.

Thank you so much for your suggestion.
I don't understand the relevance of your first or second sentences. Do you mean that you've come up with a name for the brand but none of the domain names are available? Did you mean that you haven't been able to find a single website online that uses "conspicuity"? If so, that should tell you that it's an uncommon word and should be avoided.

Note my corrections to your second and third sentences. You must remember to end every sentence with a single appropriate punctuation mark and start every sentence with a capital letter.

We don't connect sentences with strings of dots. Just use a full stop. Ellipses have a very specific use. What "tool" are you talking about?
 
Thank you so much for your corrections I appreciate that.
1- When I said ''none of the domain names are available'' I mean prominence dot com or prominence dot net or prominence dot xyz... aren't available for purchase.
2- I found some websites using the kw "conspicuity'' but not too much I think 20 To 30

Thank you so much for your corrections. I appreciate that them.
1- When I said "none of the domain names are available", I meant prominence dot com or prominence dot net or prominence dot xyz no ellipsis here aren't available for purchase.
2- I found some websites using the kw keyword "conspicuity'' but not too much very many. I think it was about 20 to 30.
It doesn't surprise me at all that you can't get a domain name that just has "Prominence" as the name. There are probably loads of companies that already have that name so most of those domain names will already be taken.
Again, I think the small number of examples of "conspicuity" you found should be a good indicator that you should forget about the word.
 
I'm talking about Google Ngrams.
End every sentence with a closing punctuation mark. We're going to get very tired very quickly of making these basic corrections to your posts.
