devotedness

/dɪˈvoʊtɪdnəs/ noun

State of being devoted.

Word Origin Devotedness comes from devoted, which traces to Latin devovere 'to vow completely' — de- 'down, completely' and vovere 'to vow, promise'. So devotedness is the quality of being fully dedicated by vow. The same root gives us vote (a vow or choice), votive, devotion, and avow (to declare openly). The breakdown de+vote+ed+ness shows 'completely-vowed-ness.'
