The quality or state of being distant; remoteness in space, time, or relationship.
From 'distant' (from Latin 'distans', standing apart) + '-cy' suffix forming abstract nouns, similar to 'frequency' or 'decency'.
While we use 'distance' constantly, 'distancy' is a rarer poetic word that poets like Milton used to capture the feeling of emotional remoteness or cosmic separation.
