jealousness

/ˈdʒɛɫəsnɪs/ noun

The state or condition of being jealous.

Word Origin Jealousness comes from jealous, which traces back to Greek 'zēlos' 'zeal, fervor' — so jealousy originally was just intense zeal, not necessarily envy. The meaning narrowed to 'zeal for one's own, suspicious of rivals.' The same root gives us zeal, zealous, and zealot.
