franticness
State of panic
Franticness is the quality or state of being frantic—wild with agitation, fear, or urgency.
The word captures desperate, uncontrolled energy: The franticness in her voice told me something was wrong.
Frenzy or desperation usually work better; franticness is uncommon and slightly awkward.
