inactiveness
State of idleness
The quality or state of being inactive—not moving, not functioning, or not engaged in activity.
Inactiveness describes a lack of action or motion: The inactiveness of the committee frustrated those waiting for a decision.
The word is somewhat awkward; inactivity is the more natural choice in most contexts.
