thickness
How wide through
Thickness is the distance through something from one side to the other, the third dimension after length and width: a wall of six-inch thickness.
It also describes the quality of being thick—density or viscosity: the thickness of the fog, adjust the thickness of the batter.
In plural, thicknesses can mean layers: several thicknesses of cardboard.
