capaciousness

Having much space

Capaciousness is the quality of being spacious or roomy—able to hold a great deal.

A capacious bag holds many items; a capacious mind holds many ideas.

The word applies to physical spaces the capaciousness of the cathedral and to abstractions the capaciousness of her imagination.
