Disparateness

/dɪˈspærətnes/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being fundamentally different or unrelated; lack of similarity or connection.

Etymology

From disparate + -ness (noun-forming suffix from Old English -nes). The -ness suffix is the most productive way English forms abstract nouns from adjectives (happy → happiness).
