exoticness

/ɪɡˈzɑtɪknəs/ noun

The characteristic of being exotic; foreignness.

Word Origin 'Exotic' from Greek 'exōtikos' meaning foreign, from 'exō' outside. Exoticness is the state of being from outside, strange and fascinating. The same root gives us exotica, exoticism, exodus (way out), exosphere (outer sphere), and exoskeleton (outside skeleton). The idea: exotic is literally 'outside' our familiar world.
