fidgetiness

/fˈɪdʒɪtinəs/ noun

The state or condition of being fidgety.

Word Origin Fidgetiness is the quality of being fidgety. Fidget comes from Old English fician 'to move restlessly', possibly from Proto-Germanic fikon 'to move briskly'. The -y suffix turns it into an adjective, and -ness makes it a noun. So fidgetiness is that restless, twitchy feeling. Related words: fidget, fidgety, fidgeter.
