unsuccessfulness

/ˌənsəkˈsɛsfəɫnəs/ noun

The state or condition of being unsuccessful.

Word Origin Success comes from Latin 'succedere' — literally 'to go under' or 'follow after', meaning to come after in a favorable way. Unsuccessfulness is the state of not having that favorable outcome. The root 'cedere' (to go) gives us proceed, exceed, recede, concede, and many others. The idea: success is about things going your way.
