circumspectness

/ˈsɝkəmˌspɛktnəs/ noun

the state or quality of being circumspect

Word Origin From Latin circum 'around' and spicere 'to look' — to be circumspect is to look around carefully, to be cautious. Circumspectness is that quality of caution. The same root spicere gives us inspect (look into), expect (look out for), respect (look back at), suspect (look under), and perspective (looking through). The breakdown circum+spect+ness literally means 'around-look-ness.'
