The quality or state of being adjoining or adjacent to something else.
From adjoining + -ness suffix (forming abstract nouns). A constructed noun expressing the abstract quality of adjacency.
The -ness suffix is perhaps English's most prolific noun-maker—you can theoretically add it to almost any adjective to create a noun, which is why 'adjoiningness' is grammatically perfect but sounds slightly invented.
