extensiveness

/ɪkˈstɛnsɪvnəs/ noun

The degree or property of being extensive.

Word Origin From Latin 'tendere' 'to stretch', with 'ex-' (out). Extensiveness is the quality of stretching out widely. The root 'tens' (stretch) gives us 'extend', 'extension', 'extent', and also 'intense' (stretched tight), 'attend' (stretch towards), 'contend' (stretch together, compete), and 'pretend' (stretch forward, feign). The PIE root *ten- 'to stretch' is everywhere.
