faintness
Near-swoon sensation felt
Faintness is the quality of being faint—weak, dim, or barely perceptible.
It describes sensory experiences at the edge of detection: the faintness of a distant sound, the faintness of old handwriting.
It also names the physical sensation preceding a faint: A wave of faintness washed over her.
