Definition
The quality or state of being alien, foreign, or fundamentally different and unfamiliar.
Etymology
From 'alien' (Latin alienus, 'foreign') combined with the noun-forming suffix '-ness,' which converts adjectives into abstract nouns representing the quality described.
Kelly Says
Science fiction writers love exploring alienness—the whole genre depends on how deeply *weird* something can feel, and linguistically that weirdness comes from how unfamiliar and 'other' things are.
