concernedness

/kənˈsɝndnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being concerned.

Word Origin From Latin cernere 'to sift, separate' — concern originally meant to sift together, to distinguish what matters. The idea: when you're concerned, you're mentally sifting through something important. The same root gives us discern (sift apart, distinguish), certain (sifted, decided), and secret (sifted apart, hidden). The -ed and -ness suffixes make it a noun for the state of being concerned.
