compactness
In mathematics, primarily in topology, compactness is a property that generalizes the notion of a subset of Euclidean space being closed and bounded. A topological space or a set is called compact if it can be covered by a finite number of smaller sets from any given collection of open sets. Informally, if you can take every possible open cover of a set and find a finite subcover, then that set is compact.
Webster Dictionary
Compactnessnoun
the state or quality of being compact; close union of parts; density
