anomalousness
State of deviation
Anomalousness is the quality of being anomalous—of deviating from what is standard, normal, or expected.
The term appears in formal or technical contexts where a simpler word like strangeness or oddness might seem too casual: The anomalousness of the data suggested measurement error.
It emphasizes that something doesn't fit established patterns rather than that it's merely unusual.
