colossalness

Quality of vastness

Colossalness is the quality of being colossal—enormous in size, extent, or degree.

The word is rare, since *enormity*, *immensity*, or simply *scale* usually serve better: The colossalness of the project overwhelmed the small team.

When it does appear, it emphasizes sheer overwhelming magnitude.
