Formidableness

/ˈfɔːrmɪdəbəlnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being formidable; the characteristic of inspiring fear or impressive respect.

Etymology

From 'formidable' (adjective) + '-ness' (suffix forming nouns from adjectives). This alternative to 'formidability' uses the more common English suffix '-ness' to create the abstract noun.

Kelly Says

Both 'formidability' and 'formidableness' mean the same thing, but 'formidableness' sounds more traditionally English while 'formidability' sounds more formal and modern—it's a great example of how English gives us multiple ways to say similar things.
