Poppie, I found this by Googling "quiddity". There were a lot of hits, this was the first one I tried.

"In philosophy, quiddity is identity or "whatness," i.e., something's "what it is."

The term derives from the Latin word "quidditas," which was used by the medieval Scholastics to refer to a concept of substance they encountered while translating the works of Aristotle."
