boisterousness

/ˈbɔɪstɝəsnəs/ noun

The characteristic of being boisterous.

Word Origin Boisterous likely comes from Old French boistous 'rough, clumsy,' which may trace back to Latin buxus 'boxwood' — the idea of something stiff and unyielding like boxwood. Add -ness, and boisterousness is the state of being rowdy and rough. The same Latin root gives us box (the tree and container). The connection is a bit surprising: from a tree to noisy energy.
