instantaneousness

/ˌɪnstənˈtæniəsnəs/ noun

condition of being instantaneous

Word Origin Instant comes from Latin instare 'to stand upon, be at hand' — from in- 'upon' and stare 'to stand.' So an instant is a moment standing right there. Instantaneous means 'happening in an instant,' and instantaneousness is the quality of that. The root sta- 'to stand' is everywhere: constant (standing together), distance (standing apart), exist (stand out), resist (stand back), persist (stand through). The PIE root *sta- is one of the most prolific.
