discomfortableness
State of unease
The quality of being uncomfortable or causing discomfort.
The word is rare and unwieldy—uncomfortable or discomfort usually serves better.
When it appears, it often emphasizes the abstract quality rather than a specific instance: The discomfortableness of the situation was apparent to everyone.
