1. 1

Built on infinite with the noun-forming ending -tude, through French and Latin formations expressing an unlimited state. Infinite comes from Latin infinitus, 'unbounded,' formed from in- 'not' + finitus, 'limited,' from finis, 'end or boundary.' Infinitude emphasizes the quality or vast extent of the infinite.
