'globalness' is formed in English by adding the noun-forming suffix '-ness' to the adjective 'global'. The adjective 'global' ultimately comes from Latin 'globus' meaning 'a round mass, ball', via Modern Latin 'globalis'. The suffix '-ness' comes from Old English '-ness' used to form abstract nouns indicating a state or quality.

'global' entered English from Modern Latin 'globalis' (itself from Latin 'globus') and came to mean 'relating to the whole world'; later English formed the abstract noun 'globalness' by combining 'global' + '-ness'.

Originally related to 'roundness' or 'sphere' from Latin 'globus', the sense shifted to 'relating to the whole world' (a worldwide sphere), and 'globalness' now means 'the state or quality of being worldwide or universally applicable.'
