preciseness

/pɹiˈsaɪsnəs/ noun

The condition of being precise; precision

Word Origin From Latin praecisus 'cut off in front' — precise means exactly defined, as if cut cleanly. Preciseness is the quality of being exact. The root caedere 'to cut' gives us concise (cut short), excise (cut out), incise (cut into), and decision (cutting off). So preciseness is the state of being sharply cut.
