Blurredness

/ˈblɜːrɪdnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being blurred; the condition of lacking clarity or sharp focus.

Etymology

From 'blurred' plus the abstract noun suffix '-ness,' which creates nouns from adjectives. This is a formal, less common variant of 'blurriness.'

Kelly Says

Both 'blurredness' and 'blurriness' mean the same thing, but 'blurriness' wins in real speech—this shows how English speakers prefer '-iness' to '-edness' for abstract qualities.
