nonfunctionality
State of brokenness
Nonfunctionality is the state of not working or not serving a practical purpose.
The term appears in technical and administrative contexts—a report might document the nonfunctionality of equipment, or a warranty might exclude coverage for nonfunctionality caused by misuse.
The system's nonfunctionality lasted three days.
