dubiousness
This term describes a state of uncertainty or skepticism. It can refer to an internal psychological state of doubt felt by a person, or an external quality of a thing that makes it seem untrustworthy or questionable. While "doubt" is a more common and direct term, "dubiousness" emphasizes the enduring quality or characteristic of being doubtful.
When used to describe a person's attitude, it suggests a cautious hesitation. When applied to a claim or a piece of evidence, it carries a stronger negative connotation, implying that the subject is likely false, fraudulent, or unreliable.
