crowdedness

/ˈkɹaʊdədnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being crowded.

Word Origin From Old English 'crūdan' meaning to press or push — you can almost feel the crush of people. The word builds up: crowd (the pressed mass), crowded (full of that pressing), and crowdedness (the state of being crowded). The PIE root *greut- gives the sense of pressing, and it's related to words like 'crush'? Actually not directly, but it's a vivid root. The family includes overcrowd, crowdsourcing.
