burdensomeness
Quality of oppressing
The quality of being heavy, difficult, or oppressive to bear.
Burdensomeness describes how much strain something places on those who must carry or endure it: The burdensomeness of the new regulations drove several small businesses to close.
The word is formal and somewhat awkward—often *burden* or *burdensome* serves better.
