antiquatedness
State of outdatedness
The state of being outdated or obsolete.
Antiquatedness suggests something has fallen so far behind current standards or practices that it seems to belong to another era: The antiquatedness of the equipment made the factory uncompetitive.
The word is clunky; most writers prefer saying something is antiquated or simply outdated.
