nomadicity

It's true that "nomadicity" is not a word, at least according to the dictionaries around here. There's not even "nomadery". There's a rather useless adverb "nomadically". There is "nomadism," but I don't like it. So I'll claim "nomadicity." And the verb, "nomadize":

  Nomadize \Nom"ad*ize\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Nomadized; p. pr. &
     vb. n. Nomadizing.]
     To lead the life of a nomad; to wander with flocks and herds
     for the sake of finding pasturage.
  
           The Vogules nomadize chiefly about the Rivers Irtish,
           Obi, Kama, and Volga.                    --W. Tooke.
