privateness
State of solitude
Privateness is the quality or state of being private—removed from public view or access.
The word exists but rarely appears; privacy covers the same ground more naturally.
Where privateness does surface, it often emphasizes the deliberate or inherent quality of seclusion: the privateness of their correspondence, the privateness of grief.
