broadness

/ˈbɹɔdnəs/ noun

The state, characteristic, or condition of being broad; breadth.

Word Origin From Proto-Germanic 'breod-', meaning wide. The PIE root *mreghu- also gives us 'margin' — the edge of something broad. So broadness is the quality of being wide. The word 'broadcast' originally meant scattering seeds widely, then radio transmission. Related: breadth, broaden, abroad (on broad, away from home).
