hurriedness
State of rushing
Hurriedness is the quality of being hurried—rushed, hasty, or pressed for time.
The word emphasizes the state itself rather than the action: The hurriedness of her departure left things unsaid.
It often carries a slightly negative connotation, suggesting lack of care or composure that comes from moving too fast.
