Etymology
From arid (Latin aridus, 'dry') + -ness (suffix forming abstract nouns). English word formation creating a quality noun.
Kelly Says
While 'aridity' is the formal scientific term, 'aridness' is the everyday word English speakers use—it's a reminder that we often have two words for the same thing depending on the context.
