A chemical condition where a substance lacks alkaline properties or is neutral to slightly acidic, the opposite of alkalinity.
From 'an-' (without) + 'alkalinity' (degree of being alkaline). This is a technical term combining Greek and modern chemical terminology to describe the absence or insufficiency of basic (alkaline) chemical properties.
While 'alkalinity' and 'acidity' are common chemistry terms, 'analkalinity' is extremely rare in modern scientific writing because chemists usually just say 'neutral' or give a pH value instead. It's the kind of technically-correct ghost word that linguists spot but nobody actually uses.
