Powerlessness (9)

I think it could be either:

impotence

inability

'powerlessness' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for inability that I've seen before include "Lack of knack!" , "Lack of sufficient power or means" , "Powerlessness" , "Lack of capacity for action" , "Impotence, incapacity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
