distinctness

Quality of standing apart

Distinctness is the quality of being clearly separate or distinguishable from other things.

A sound with distinctness can be heard clearly against background noise.

An idea with distinctness is sharp and well-defined rather than vague: The distinctness of her memory surprised even her.

The word emphasizes clarity of boundaries or features.
