groundlessness

/ˈɡɹaʊndɫəsnəs/ noun

The state or condition of being groundless.

Word Origin From Old English grund 'foundation, bottom' and leas 'lacking' — groundlessness is the state of having no solid ground, no basis. The same grund gives us ground, underground, background, and groundwork. The suffix -ness turns the adjective groundless into a noun, just like in darkness and kindness.
