deliberateness

/dɪˈɫɪbɝˌeɪtnəs/ noun

the state or property of being deliberate.

Word Origin Deliberate comes from Latin deliberare, literally 'to weigh down' — from de- 'down' and libra 'scales.' When you deliberate, you weigh options carefully. Deliberateness is the quality of being intentional. The same root libra gives us equilibrium (equal balance) and libration (a balancing motion).
