The quality or condition of being flagrant; the degree to which something is obviously wrong, outrageous, or impossible to ignore.
From 'flagrant' (Latin 'flagrare,' to burn) plus the suffix '-ness' (from Old English '-nes,' indicating a state or quality). This creates an abstract noun describing the condition or degree of being flagrant.
The suffix '-ness' is incredibly common in English (happiness, kindness, boldness) because it's been turning adjectives into abstract nouns since Old English times—it's one of the most productive word-building tools!
