skimpiness
Not nearly enough
Skimpiness is the quality of being inadequate in size, amount, or coverage.
It often describes clothing that reveals more skin than expected or seems insufficient for its purpose: The skimpiness of her bikini raised eyebrows at the family beach.
The term can also characterize portions, budgets, or any allocation perceived as too meager: We complained about the skimpiness of the servings.
