acidness
This term describes the state of being acid, whether in a chemical sense or a behavioral one. In scientific contexts, it is often replaced by the more technical term acidity, which is the standard nomenclature for pH levels and chemical properties. Using acidness in a laboratory report would likely be viewed as non-standard or imprecise.
When applied to human temperament or speech, the word conveys a sense of harshness or corrosive wit. It suggests a quality that is not merely critical, but intended to sting or wound, mirroring the physical property of an acid that eats away at a surface.
