AWKNESS sounds like a millennial coinage, but it's a word centuries old meaning "wrongness, irrationality, perversity, untowardness, awkwardness, ineptitude".
That definition is from the OED, which labels AWKNESS obsolete. But it's been reinvented: https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2021/01/28/awkness-an-old-word-made-new-again/
