Definition
The quality of being crackish or inclined to crack; having a tendency to develop fissures or break.
Etymology
From 'cracky' or 'crackish' (adjective meaning prone to cracking) plus the suffix '-ness.' This technical term likely emerged in contexts discussing materials, pottery, or construction.
Kelly Says
Materials scientists still use this concept today when discussing the 'cracking tendency' of different materials—ancient potters and builders intuitively understood the crackiness of different clays and cements long before we had scientific explanations!
