localness

/ˈɫoʊkəɫnəs/ noun

The state or condition of being local.

Word Origin Localness combines local (from Latin locus 'place') and -ness (from Proto-Germanic nassuz 'state, condition'). So it's the state of being local. Locus gives us location, locality, allocate (assign to a place), and even locomotive (moving place). The -ness suffix turns adjectives into abstract nouns, like darkness, kindness. It's a word that captures the quality of belonging to a place.
