activeness

State of doing

Activeness is the quality of being active—engaged, energetic, or in motion.

The word exists but rarely appears, since activity covers the same ground more naturally: the activity of the market rather than the activeness of the market.

Activeness occasionally surfaces in technical or academic writing when a more abstract noun is wanted.
