moderateness

/ˈmɑdɝˌeɪtnəs/ noun

the quality of being moderate

Word Origin From Latin modus 'measure'—the idea of keeping things within bounds. Moderateness is the quality of being measured, not extreme. The same root gives us modify (to change the measure), accommodate (to fit to a measure), and modest (keeping within measure). The PIE root *med- also appears in medical, where a doctor takes appropriate measures.
