cohesiveness

/koʊˈhisɪvnəs/ noun

The state of being cohesive; cohesion.

Word Origin Cohesiveness is the quality of sticking together, from Latin com- 'together' and haerere 'to stick.' The root haerere gives us adhere (stick to), inherent (sticking within), and even hesitate (to stick, be stuck). The breakdown co+hes+ive+ness shows the layers: together + stick + tending to + state. So it's literally 'the state of tending to stick together.'
