Etymology

From robust +‎ -ness.

Noun

robustness (countable and uncountable, plural robustnesses)

1. The quality of being robust.
   • 1950 November, “Mixed-Traffic Diesel-Electric Locomotives for Ireland”, in Railway Magazine, page 780:

     Robustness was considered to be an essential feature because of the comparatively high starting effort and the generally rough work for which the locomotives are to be used.

   • 1960 March, “Talking of Trains: The Slough derailment”, in Trains Illustrated, page 132:

     The Inspecting Officer draws attention to the remarkable way in which the train held together after the final derailment; this was due in no small measure to the robustness of the buckeye couplings fitted to the coaches.
