prematureness

Before the time

Prematureness is the quality of occurring or being done before the proper or expected time.

The word is a less common variant of prematurity, appearing mainly in contexts where someone wants to emphasize the abstract quality rather than a specific instance: The prematureness of his conclusions undermined the entire study.
