Definition
The state or quality of being alone; solitude without necessarily implying sadness or loneliness.
Etymology
From 'alone' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness.' The word is more neutral than 'loneliness,' which emphasizes emotional pain, while 'aloneness' can simply describe the objective state of being by oneself.
Kelly Says
English is smart—'aloneness' and 'loneliness' sound similar but mean different things. You can be alone and happy (aloneness), or alone and miserable (loneliness). The difference between those two words is basically the difference between solitude and sadness!
