disruptiveness

/dɪsˈɹəptɪvnəs/ noun

Quality or state of being disruptive.

Word Origin From Latin dis- 'apart' and rumpere 'to break' — disruptive literally means 'tending to break apart.' The root rumpere is a breaker's paradise: it gives us corrupt (break together, morally), erupt (break out), interrupt (break between), and bankrupt (broken bank). The breakdown dis+rupt+ive+ness shows the prefix, root, and suffixes.
