indebtedness
State of owing
Indebtedness is the state of owing something—usually money, but also gratitude or obligation.
Financial indebtedness measures how much debt a person or entity carries: The company's indebtedness exceeded its assets.
Personal indebtedness acknowledges what you owe someone for their help or kindness: I can never repay my indebtedness to my mentors.
