troublesomeness

/ˈtɹəbəɫsəmnəs/ noun

The state or condition of being troublesome.

Word Origin 'Trouble' from Latin turbare 'to disturb' (from turba 'crowd, turmoil'). The suffix -some means 'characterized by' (like 'handsome,' 'quarrelsome'), and -ness makes it a noun, so troublesomeness is literally 'the state of being characterized by turmoil.' The same root gives us 'disturb,' 'perturb,' 'turbulent,' and even 'turbine' (a spinning engine that agitates air).
