The quality or state of being bushy; the degree to which something is thick, dense, or full of bushes.
From 'bushy' + '-ness' (noun suffix forming abstract qualities). The '-ness' suffix comes from Old English and Germanic roots, and transforms adjectives into nouns describing their inherent properties.
The '-ness' suffix is so old and productive that we barely notice it—over 10,000 English words end in '-ness,' making it one of our language's most reliable word factories for creating abstract nouns from concrete adjectives.
