Etymology
Boringness comes from the common verb bore, which once meant 'to make a hole' and later also came to mean 'to make someone tired'. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine your interest with a 'hole' in it, as if your attention falls through. So, boringness is the quality of being dull or causing a loss of interest.
