/əˈnɔɪɪŋnəs/ noun

The quality of being annoying.

Word Origin Annoy comes from Late Latin inodiare 'to make hateful,' from odium 'hatred' — so to annoy is literally to stir up hatred. Annoyingness is the abstract quality of being annoying. The root od- gives us odious and odium itself, while -ness turns the adjective into a noun.
