unloveliness
Lack of beauty
Unloveliness is the quality of being unattractive or lacking beauty.
The word appears in literary or formal contexts where *ugliness* might feel too blunt: There was an unloveliness to the industrial landscape that depressed her.
It can also describe moral or spiritual deficiency—an unloveliness of character or soul.
