concaveness

/ˈkɑnkeɪvnəs/ noun

the state of being concave; concavity

Word Origin Concaveness is the quality of being concave — curved inward like a cave. From Latin cavus 'hollow,' which gives us cave, cavity, and excavate (to hollow out). The con- prefix here intensifies the meaning. The PIE root *kou- 'hollow' also appears in words like 'cage' and 'cavern.' So concaveness is literally 'the state of being hollowed together.'
