extendedness

/ɪkˈstɛndədnəs/ noun

The condition of being extended; extension.

Word Origin From Latin ex- 'out' and tendere 'to stretch' — literally 'to stretch out.' Extendedness is the state of being stretched, spread out. The root tendere is everywhere: tend, tendency, tense, tension, intend (stretch toward), attend (stretch to), contend (stretch together), pretend (stretch forward), and tendon (a stretchy cord). The PIE root *ten- 'to stretch' is also in thin and tenuous. So extendedness is about being pulled thin.
