Discoloredness

/dɪsˈkʌlərdnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being discolored; the condition of having lost or spoiled color.

Etymology

From discolored + -ness (the suffix that forms nouns expressing a state or quality). This creates a noun describing the abstract quality of discoloration.

Kelly Says

The suffix -ness is one of English's favorite tools for turning adjectives into nouns about qualities—'discoloredness' is the state of being discolored, just like 'sadness' is the state of being sad!
