concentration
Sustained mental attention
Concentration is the focusing of attention or effort on a single thing: The job requires intense concentration.
It also means a gathering or accumulation in one place: a concentration of troops near the border, high concentrations of lead in the water.
In chemistry, concentration measures how much of a substance is dissolved in a solution.
A concentration camp is a facility for mass detention, most notoriously the Nazi death camps of World War II.
