trivialness

/ˈtɹɪviəɫnəs/ noun

Quality or state of being trivial.

Word Origin From Latin trivium 'crossroads, place where three roads meet' — trivial originally meant 'common, ordinary' because crossroads were public places where everyday people gathered. Trivialness is the quality of being commonplace. The root via 'road' also gives us viaduct, previous (going before), obvious (in the way), and deviate (off the road).
