Bassness

/ˈbæsnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality, state, or characteristic of being bass; the property of having a low pitch or bass-like sound.

Etymology

From 'bass' combined with the abstract noun suffix -ness, which converts adjectives and nouns into nouns describing their essential quality or state.

Kelly Says

The suffix -ness is so productive in English that we can turn almost any word into an abstract quality—'bassness' captures something you can feel but not touch, like how a bass line hits your chest before your ears hear it.
