The state or quality of having bleared or watery eyes; the condition of seeing unclearly or vaguely.
From 'bleared' (from 'blear,' possibly Old Norse 'bleyra') + '-ness' (Old English 'næss' meaning state or condition). This creates an abstract noun for the condition of being bleared.
This word is so packed with suffixes ('-ed' + '-ness') that it almost collapses under its own weight—it's the kind of word that shows how English can build incredibly specific concepts from simple roots!
