Etymology

The word continuousness comes from the same root as continue and continuous, words that mean 'without stopping' or 'unbroken'. So, continuousness, formed with the suffix -ness, is the 'quality' or 'state' of not stopping, which is why we use it to describe something that goes on without a break.
