unstableness

/ənˈsteɪbəɫnəs/ noun

The quality of being unstable; instability

Word Origin From Latin stabilis 'firm, standing firm' — stable means standing steady. Unstableness is the opposite: the quality of being unsteady. The root stare 'to stand' is everywhere: stable, stability, stabilize, establish (to make stand), state, station, statue, status, constant (standing together), instant (standing in), distance (standing apart). The PIE root *sta- is the same as in stand, stay, and stage.
