artificialness

/ˌɑɹtəˈfɪʃəɫnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being artificial.

Word Origin From Latin ars 'art, skill' and facere 'to make' — literally 'made by art,' as opposed to natural. The -ness suffix turns the adjective into a noun. The same facere root gives us factory, fiction, and manufacture (made by hand). Ars gives us artist, artisan, and artifact.
