multifariousness
State of diversity
Multifariousness is the quality of having many different forms, types, or elements—great variety or diversity.
The word emphasizes abundance and range: the multifariousness of life in a coral reef, the multifariousness of human experience.
It's a formal, somewhat literary way to describe something marked by multiplicity.
