Etymology

The word 'religiousness' originated from the combination of 'religious' + 'ness'. 'Religious' has its roots in the Latin word 'religiosus', meaning pious, devout, or conscientious. The suffix '-ness' is used to form abstract nouns indicating a state or quality. Therefore, 'religiousness' refers to the state or quality of being religious, demonstrating strong devotion or belief in a higher power or spiritual practice.
