Eventlessness

/ɪˈvɛntləsnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being without notable events or incidents.

Etymology

From 'eventless' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness,' creating an abstract noun. This suffix '-ness' has Germanic roots and became productive in Middle English.

Kelly Says

Abstract nouns ending in '-ness' are a distinctly English specialty—we've created thousands of them by taking adjectives and turning them into concepts we can discuss philosophically, like 'happiness' or 'darkness.'
