contiguousness

/kənˈtɪɡjuəsnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being contiguous.

Word Origin From Latin con- 'together' and tangere 'to touch' — contiguous means 'touching together', sharing a border. The root tangere gives us contact (touching together), tangible (able to be touched), and contagion (touching together, spreading). The -uous and -ness suffixes make it a noun for the quality of being adjacent.
