glaringness
Stark, unmissable presence
Glaringness is the quality of being glaringly obvious or conspicuous—something so blatant it cannot be missed or ignored.
The word emphasizes how strikingly apparent something is: The glaringness of the error made everyone wonder how it had slipped past review.
It often carries a negative connotation, suggesting something unpleasantly or embarrassingly evident.
