Demonishness

/ˈdɛmənɪʃnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being demonic or evil; a theoretical noun form related to demonish.

Etymology

From demonish + -ness (noun suffix creating abstract qualities). An extremely rare theoretical noun that likely never achieved actual usage.

Kelly Says

This is essentially a linguistic phantom—formed according to English word-building rules but so rare (possibly non-existent in actual usage) that it demonstrates how many potential words English *could* make but never actually does.
