Definition
The act or process of flooding, or the area of land that is flooded.
Etymology
From 'flood' plus the suffix '-age' (condition or process), following the pattern of Old English noun formation; common in legal and environmental terminology.
Kelly Says
Dam engineers and lawyers use 'floodage' as a technical term for flooded territory, so when a dam is built, they calculate the 'floodage area' that will be permanently underwater.
