What is the meaning of "nededad"? It is used in this verse:

Has esperado de mi amor un ruego; tal cosa es nededad y tu eres necia; que si mi corazón por ti esta ciego, mi espíritu iracundo te desprecia.

Are you sure it is not necedad. Maybe a typo?

Necedad= folishness/nonsense and would match well with the necia that follows.

tal cosa es necedad y tu eres necia

Such a thing is foolishness and you are foolish

Bingo! Necio is also a great word. I first eard it in a Shiala Dúrcal song. - gringojrf, May 4, 2016
Perhaps but my father often used arcane words and this may be one of them. I have found it used by others such as Cervantes in Diálogo entre Babieca y Rocinante)-II.- Maybe its same word but in arcane spelling. Still looking for others' views. Thanks. - alfredocardenas, May 4, 2016
I never heard nededad , I agree with bosque the only posible Word in this sentence is necedad or "cosa de necios" - 000a35ff, May 4, 2016
Some Spanish speakers close the "c" and it sounds like "d" or "t". Listen to the Shaila Dúrcal's song Convenceme. song. - gringojrf, May 4, 2016
