From external + -ity. In the economic sense coined by British economist Alfred Marshall in 1890.

Outside us, mutual externality without succession; within us, succession without mutual externality. — Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness, Henri Bergson
It is in virtue of this passive element that the ideal externality takes upon itself phenomenal or sensible form, and thus appears as spatial externality. — Leibniz's New Essays Concerning the Human Understanding: A Critical Exposition, John Dewey
Let us then concentrate attention on that which we have that is at the same time the most removed from externality and the least penetrated with intellectuality. — Creative Evolution, Bergson, Henri
