contemplativeness

/kənˈtɛmpɫətɪvnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being contemplative.

Word Origin From Latin con- 'together' and templum 'temple, sacred space' — contemplate originally meant to mark out a space for observation, like a temple where augurs watched birds. The idea: deep thought is like entering a sacred mental space. The same root templum gives us temple and template. The suffixes build the noun for the quality of being contemplative.
