tumultuousness
State of upheaval
Tumultuousness is the quality of being tumultuous—full of commotion, disorder, or agitation.
It describes situations marked by loud confusion or emotional upheaval: the tumultuousness of the protest made it impossible to hear the speakers.
The word applies equally to external chaos and internal turbulence: she was exhausted by the tumultuousness of her own feelings.
It emphasizes sustained disorder rather than a single disruptive moment.
