conceitedness

/kənˈsitədnəs/ noun

The state of being conceited; conceit; vanity.

Word Origin Conceitedness comes from 'conceited', which derives from 'conceit' — an old word for 'concept' or 'idea', from Latin 'con-' (together) and 'capere' (to take). A conceited person is full of their own 'conceits', their own clever ideas. The -ed and -ness make it a noun. The same root gives us conceive, concept, capture, capacity. So conceitedness is being taken with oneself.
