disgracefulness

/dɪsˈɡɹeɪsfəɫnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being disgraceful.

Word Origin Grace comes from Latin gratia 'favor, charm, thanks' — so disgrace is literally the reversal of that favor, a fall from good standing. Disgracefulness is the state of being full of that fallen grace. The same root gives us gracious, grateful, and congratulate (to express favor together).
