indistinctiveness
Quality of vagueness
The quality of lacking clear definition or distinguishing features.
Something with indistinctiveness blends into its surroundings or category, failing to stand out: The indistinctiveness of the suburbs made every neighborhood look the same.
The word is rare; most writers reach for vagueness, blandness, or sameness instead.
