 I didn't know that Webster's dictionary could have such a word.
It seems I really bought a fine dictionary for only $13.

 Obviously, I'm not the first in using 'ergodicity' in such a way.
Literature must be plenty of examples. See for instance
M. San Miguel & R. Toral in "Stochastic Effects in Physical
Systems", edited by E.Tirapegui and W. Zeller; Kluwer Academic,
Dordrecht, 1997. You can also download it from xxx.lanl with
the reference cond-mat-9707147. Surely references therein will
also that use of ergodicity.
