Comfiness

/ˈkʌmfɪnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being comfy; the degree to which something is comfortable or cozy.

Etymology

From 'comfy' (informal for comfortable, from Latin 'confortare') + '-ness' suffix forming abstract nouns from adjectives. Creates an informal equivalent to 'comfortableness.'

Kelly Says

English has both 'comfiness' and 'comfortableness' for the same meaning, but 'comfiness' wins in everyday speech because it sounds more genuine and warm—formality sometimes makes comfort sound less... comfortable.
