devotedness
Steadfast loyal attachment
Devotedness is the quality of being devoted—showing deep commitment, loyalty, or dedication to a person, cause, or pursuit.
The word overlaps almost entirely with devotion but emphasizes the state of being devoted rather than the feeling or act itself: Her devotedness to the project never wavered.
It appears rarely, devotion being the more natural choice in most contexts.
