Flurriment

/ˈflʌrɪmənt/ noun

Definition

A state of confusion, agitation, or nervous excitement; a flurry or commotion.

Etymology

From 'flurry' plus '-ment' (suffix creating nouns of state or condition), likely a 19th-century English formation for describing the feeling of being flurried.

Kelly Says

Words ending in '-ment' often describe abstract states of being (like 'bewilderment' or 'excitement'), and 'flurriment' captures that specific mental state when you're outwardly busy but inwardly scattered—the condition of being flurried.
