unwelcomeness
State of rejection
The quality of being unwanted or not gladly received.
Unwelcomeness can attach to people, ideas, or situations: the unwelcomeness of his surprise visit, the unwelcomeness of the news.
The word is formal and somewhat awkward—speakers more often say something *is* unwelcome than discuss its unwelcomeness as an abstract quality.
