Definition
The quality or state of being droopy; the tendency to hang down limply or look exhausted.
Etymology
From 'droopy' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness', which converts adjectives into abstract nouns describing qualities. This suffix has been productive in English for over a thousand years.
Kelly Says
The '-ness' suffix is incredible because it lets us turn any adjective into an idea we can discuss—'sadness,' 'happiness,' 'droopiness'—turning qualities into things we can talk about!
