Chubbiness

/ˈtʃʌbinəs/ noun

Definition

The quality of being chubby; plumpness or roundness of the body.

Etymology

From 'chubby' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness,' a productive suffix in English that creates abstract nouns from adjectives describing qualities.

Kelly Says

The '-ness' suffix is so powerful in English that you can add it to almost any adjective to create a noun, which is why speakers invented countless words like 'chubbiness' to talk about qualities without needing totally different root words!
