disconcertedness

/dɪskənsˈɜɾᵻdnəs/ noun

The characteristic of being disconcerted.

Word Origin Disconcertedness is the state of being unsettled. Concert originally meant to bring into agreement, from Latin con- 'together' and serere 'to join, bind'. So to be concerted is to be joined together harmoniously. Disconcerted adds dis- 'apart', so you're pulled apart from harmony — disturbed. The same root serere gives us assert, insert, and series.
