anonymousness

/əˈnɒn.ɪ.məs.nəs/ noun

The state or quality of being anonymous.

Word Origin Anonymousness is the noun form of anonymous — the quality of being nameless. It's built from an- 'without' + onym 'name' + -ous + -ness. While anonymity is more common, anonymousness is a valid alternative. The same Greek root for name appears in eponym (name-giver) and metonymy (name change).
