Etymology
Demandingness comes from the simple verb demand, which originally came from a Latin word meaning 'to ask' or 'to order', and the same root is seen in command and mandate. So demandingness is the quality of 'asking' or 'ordering' a lot from someone — in other words, expecting much effort or ability.
