nebulousness
Lack of clarity
Nebulousness is the quality of being vague, hazy, or indistinct.
The term derives from nebula, a cloud of gas in space, and carries that sense of cloudiness into abstract territory.
A plan might be criticized for its nebulousness when details remain unclear: The nebulousness of the proposal made it hard to evaluate.
The word suggests something not yet formed or deliberately imprecise.
