Definition
The quality of being somewhat dusky or rather dark; a partial or moderate degree of duskiness.
Etymology
From 'duskish' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness,' following patterns like 'foolishness,' 'reddishness' to create an abstract noun describing a qualified state.
Kelly Says
Using both '-ish' and '-ness' together ('duskishness') is linguistically playful—it describes not true darkness but that uncertain, in-between quality of twilight's approach.
