Bumpiness

/ˈbʌmpinəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being bumpy; the degree to which something is rough, uneven, or jolting.

Etymology

From 'bumpy' (adjective) plus '-ness' suffix creating an abstract noun for the quality itself.

Kelly Says

Abstract nouns ending in '-ness' are English's way of turning descriptions into measurable things—'bumpiness' suggests you could quantify how rough something is, like a physicist studying turbulence.
