expensiveness
Steep cost quality
Expensiveness is the quality of costing a lot of money.
It describes the degree to which something carries a high price tag, whether justified by quality or not.
The expensiveness of the restaurant surprised us.
The word often carries a slight negative connotation, suggesting that something costs more than it should or more than the speaker finds reasonable.
