insufferableness
Quality provoking intolerance
The quality of being impossible to tolerate or endure.
Insufferableness usually describes personality traits—arrogance, smugness, self-importance—that make someone unbearable to be around: His insufferableness increased with every promotion.
The word is formal and somewhat rare; insufferable itself does more of the work in everyday speech.
