Formed by the straightforward nominalizing suffix '-ness' on 'away', yielding the state of being away; meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Awayness comes from the simple word away ('not here') plus the ending -ness, which turns words into a 'state' like happiness or sadness, so you can imagine an empty chair as a picture of 'awayness'.
