Etymology
The word obnoxiousness comes from the Latin parts ob- ('to') and noxius ('harmful'), and it shares the same root as the English word noxious ('harmful'). So, obnoxiousness is the quality of acting in a way that 'hurts' or offends others, which is why we use it for very unpleasant or offensive behavior.
