Root Explanation

Nebulousness → It is formed from "nebulous" (from Latin "nebulosus", meaning full of mist or cloud) and the suffix "-ness" (meaning the state or quality of). The word "nebulousness" refers to the quality of being vague or unclear, much like a cloud or mist.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'full of mist' ('nebulous') and how that creates a sense of vagueness or lack of clarity, which is what 'nebulousness' means.
