The quality or state of being cauldrife; the condition of feeling or experiencing cold easily, or of being cold in manner.
Formed from 'cauldrife' + '-ness,' a productive suffix for creating abstract nouns. This highly specific Scottish word creates an equally specific noun for the state of being cold-feeling.
