Flexuousness

/ˈflɛkʃuəsnɪs/ noun

Definition

The quality of being flexuous; the characteristic of having many curves and bends.

Etymology

From flexuous (characterized by bends) + -ness (a common English suffix creating abstract nouns from adjectives). This represents a more English-native formation compared to the Latinate 'flexuosity.'

Kelly Says

English gives you choices: the fancy Latin-derived 'flexuosity' versus the homey 'flexuousness'—both mean the same thing, but which sounds more like the word itself is bending?
