innocuousness

/ɪˈnɒk.ju.əs.nəs/ noun

The condition of being innocuous

Word Origin From Latin nocere 'to harm' — innocuous literally means 'not harmful.' The in- prefix negates the root noc- (harm). The same root gives us innocent (not harming), noxious (harmful), and obnoxious (exposed to harm, hence annoying). The PIE root *nek- 'death, harm' also appears in necro- (death) and nectar (drink of the gods, originally 'overcoming death').
