The quality of believing one deserves special treatment or privileges without having earned them.
From 'entitled' (past participle of entitle) plus the suffix '-ness' creating an abstract noun. This modern term describes a psychological or social attitude that emerged prominently in popular discourse by the 2000s.
This word exploded into popular use around 2010 as people started criticizing 'entitled' behavior, particularly in younger generations. Ironically, 'entitledness' itself can sound entitled—like complaining about others' attitudes!
