The quality or state of being exaggerated; the degree to which something is overstated or made to seem bigger than it actually is.
From exaggerated plus -ness, a Germanic suffix creating abstract nouns. The suffix -ness was used in Old English to turn adjectives into nouns describing their qualities.
Adding -ness to exaggerated creates an abstract noun that lets us talk about exaggeration as a measurable quality—philosophers use 'exaggeratedness' to describe how distorted something has become from reality.
