The quality or state of being meager, scanty, or inadequate.
Noun form created by adding the suffix -ness to the adjective exiguous, representing the abstract quality or condition. English offers multiple ways to nominalize the same concept (exiguity vs. exiguousness).
English gives us two words for this idea — exiguity (Latin-based) and exiguousness (Germanic-based) — which shows how the language constantly borrowed and innovated simultaneously.
