Shrinivas Vazzhala May 12, 2012:
If it is "दृ" as in "दृष्टि" and not "द्व" as in "द्वादश" and as the question originally indicated then there is not much to discuss. But the questioned word was "द्वस्यता" noway connected to "दृष्टि". Yes the asked may please elaborate as to where he saw the word being used, then we can definitely understand the context and then deduce the meaning.
Ramesh Kulandaivel (asker) Sep 26, 2011:
I too agree that it means visibility only.
vinod sharma Sep 26, 2011:
I also endorse Meenakshi's view that this word is दृश्यता meaning visibility.
JMeenakshi Aug 19, 2011:
Yes, not heard it before. Should be दृश्यता (Visibility) I guess.
Rajan Chopra Aug 19, 2011:
It appears that it has not been spelled correctly. Could you give the sentence in which it appears?

Hindi term (edited): द्वस्यता

Duplicity

As all of us are aware that Hindi language has something unique called संधि (sandhi) meaning joining of 2 different words to make a third word which may derive meaning from both the words, but the resultant word may have altogether different meaning or context.

In the present case also it seems that the word द्वस्य is made up of द्व + अस्य. द्व in Hindi relates to "Two" and अस्य originally Sanskrit means "of this".

So in my opinion the word द्वस्य would mean double or duplicating nature of this (or a person or subject under reference). Accordingly द्वस्यता will become Duplicity. Duplicity means being dishonest or deceitful and this could be one of the traits resulting in such remark in performance rating.
