solitariness

/sɑɫəˈtɛɹinɪs/ noun C2 ✓

The state or quality of being solitary.

Word Origin Solitariness is built on Latin solus 'alone', with the suffix -ary (pertaining to) and -ness (state of). So it's the state of being solitary. The root solus gives us sole, solo, solitude, desolate, and isolate. The PIE root *swé- meant self, alone. The idea: solitariness is the quality of being by oneself, a word that feels as lonely as its meaning.
