gregariousness

/ɡɹəˈɡɛɹiəsnəs/ noun

The state of being gregarious.

Word Origin Gregariousness is gregarious + -ness. Gregarious from Latin grex 'flock, herd,' so it's the quality of being herd-like — sociable. The same root gives us congregate (flock together), segregate (separate from the flock), and egregious (out of the flock, now meaning shockingly bad). Gregariousness is the noun for that outgoing, flocking instinct.
