indispensableness

/ˌɪndɪˈspɛnsəbəɫnəs/ noun

The characteristic of being indispensable; indispensability.

Word Origin Dispense comes from Latin pendere, 'to weigh' — originally, to dispense was to weigh out portions. Indispensable means something you can't do without, literally 'not weigh-out-able'. The root pendere also gives us depend (hang from), suspend (hang under), and pension (a weighing out of money).
