teemingness

State of overflowing

Teemingness is the quality or state of being full to overflowing, of abundance so great it seems to spill beyond its bounds.

The word captures not just plenty but a sense of bustling, vigorous life—the teemingness of a crowded marketplace, a fertile ecosystem, or a mind brimming with ideas.

The teemingness of the city overwhelmed her after years in the countryside.
