limitedness

/ˈɫɪmətədnəs/ noun

The state or characteristic of being limited.

Word Origin From Latin limes 'boundary, path,' limitedness is the state of being bounded. The root gives us limit, limitation, and unlimited. The suffix -ness turns the adjective limited into an abstract noun. So it's literally 'the quality of having limits.'
