Etymology

From curled + -ness (noun suffix). Creates an abstract noun describing the property of having curls.

Kelly Says

Words like 'curledness' show how English can turn almost any description into a noun by adding -ness, but it often sounds awkward—which is why we say 'curl' or 'how curly something is' instead of its 'curledness.'
