anxiousness

/ˈæŋkʃəsnəs/ noun

The state of being anxious.

Word Origin From Latin anxius 'troubled, distressed,' which comes from angere 'to choke, squeeze' — so anxiety is literally a feeling of tightness. The PIE root *h₂eng- meant 'to constrict,' and you can see it in anger (originally a choking feeling) and angina (chest pain). Anxiousness is just anxious plus the noun suffix -ness, but the root reveals the physical sensation behind the emotion.
