arduousness

/ˈɑːdjuːəsnəs/ noun

The state of being arduous.

Word Origin Arduousness comes from 'arduous', from Latin 'arduus' (steep, high). The idea: something arduous is like climbing a steep hill — difficult and demanding. The root 'ardu-' stands alone, but the '-ous' makes it an adjective, '-ness' a noun. So it's the state of being steeply difficult.
