What is Idempotency
From bib. source
Idempotency[sic] is the ability to run an operation which produces the same result whether run once or multiple times.
Perhaps it would be even more exact to say that, idempotency is the ability for the operation to repeatedly execute, using the same inputs, without altering the initial output determinant of the state of a system, object or attribute / property.
