Fadingness

/ˈfeɪdɪŋnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of fading away gradually; the tendency to lose color, strength, or prominence.

Etymology

From 'fade' plus '-ing' plus '-ness' suffix, creating an abstract noun that names the quality of the fading process itself.

Kelly Says

The '-ness' suffix turns actions into qualities—'fadingness' captures something philosophers love: the impermanent nature of all things, very Zen!
