staunchness

/ˈstɔntʃnəs/ noun

Property of being staunch.

Word Origin Staunchness comes from Latin stagnum, meaning 'standing water' — the idea of something firm and unmoving, like a pool. That's why staunch means loyal and steadfast. The same root gives us stagnant (water that stands still) and stationary (standing still). So staunchness is the quality of being firmly, unwaveringly loyal.
