The state or quality of being crackpot; extreme eccentricity or craziness.
From 'crackpot' + '-ed' (adjective form) + '-ness' (abstractnoun suffix), creating a formal term for the condition of being a crackpot. Victorian-era formation for describing mental eccentricity.
This wonderfully verbose word shows how Victorian writers loved stacking suffixes—they could've just said 'craziness,' but 'crackpottedness' sounded more intellectual!
