Definition
The quality or state of being futile; uselessness or hopelessness.
Etymology
From futile plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness,' creating an abstract noun describing the condition of futility.
Kelly Says
Futileness is what philosophers call the existential dread of meaningless effort—it's the exact opposite of the sense of purpose, and many 20th-century novels obsess over this feeling.
