Bounciness

/ˈbaʊnsɪnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality of being bouncy; the degree to which something bounces or is elastic.

Etymology

From bouncy plus the noun suffix -ness, creating an abstract noun that captures the quality of bounciness itself.

Kelly Says

Scientists measure bounciness with the 'coefficient of restitution'—a boring name for something that starts with a simple observation: some balls just bounce better than others.
