hazardousness

/ˈhæzɝdəsnəs/ noun

The condition of being hazardous

Word Origin From Arabic 'zahr' (dice) — because hazard originally meant a game of chance, a risky throw. The word traveled through Old French to English, and the sense of danger grew from the unpredictability of dice. The breakdown 'hazard+ous+ness' shows the quality of being full of risk. Related words include 'hazardously' and 'haphazard' (by chance).
