Blameableness

/ˈbleɪməbəlˌnɛs/ noun

Definition

The quality of being blameable; the state or condition of deserving blame.

Etymology

From 'blameable' plus '-ness.' This variant of 'blamableness' represents an alternate spelling tradition in English philosophy and ethics.

Kelly Says

This is technically a 'double-suffix' word: blame + able + ness = three layers of meaning building up to 'the quality of being worthy of blame'!
