turbidness
Lack of clarity
Turbidness is the quality of being turbid—cloudy, murky, or opaque, typically from suspended particles.
The term applies most often to water or other liquids: The turbidness of the river increased after the storm.
It can extend figuratively to mental states or situations lacking clarity.
The more common noun form is turbidity, which appears in scientific and technical contexts.
