traitorousness
Disloyalty as trait
The quality of being treacherous or disloyal, especially to one's country, cause, or allegiances.
Traitorousness suggests not just a single act of betrayal but a disposition toward disloyalty: The traitorousness of his conduct became clear only after the documents were leaked.
The word carries strong moral condemnation.
