Cragginess

/ˈkræɡinəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being craggy; the degree to which something is rough and rocky.

Etymology

From 'craggy' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness,' which creates abstract nouns describing qualities or conditions. This follows the common English pattern of adjective + -ness.

Kelly Says

English has multiple ways to describe the same quality—'rockiness,' 'ruggedness,' and 'cragginess' all work, but each carries slightly different emotional weight, with 'cragginess' sounding more dramatic and literary than the others.
