hyperconsciousness

/hˌaɪpɚkˈɑnʃəsnəs/ noun

Extreme or excessive consciousness of something; hyperawareness.

Word Origin Consciousness comes from Latin 'scire' (to know) with the prefix con- (with) — literally 'knowing with' oneself. Hyperconsciousness adds Greek 'hyper' (over, beyond) to mean an extreme, heightened awareness. The root 'scire' also gives us science, omniscience, and prescience — all about knowing.
