uneasiness
This term describes a subtle, lingering tension that manifests as either mental apprehension or physical restlessness. It differs from panic or terror by its low-intensity, simmering nature, often appearing as a premonition that something is wrong rather than a reaction to a known threat.
Because it is an abstract quality of feeling, the word is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not have a plural form and cannot be counted with numbers; instead, it requires partitive constructions such as a sense of uneasiness or a feeling of uneasiness to describe specific instances.
