valuelessness
Complete lack of worth
Valuelessness is the state of having no worth or importance.
The word appears in philosophical and economic contexts where something's complete lack of value needs naming: the valuelessness of money during hyperinflation, confronting the apparent valuelessness of existence.
It's abstract and somewhat awkward—often a sign that a sentence could be rewritten.
