The quality, state, or degree of being fogyish; the characteristic attitudes and behaviors of someone who is old-fashioned and resistant to change.
Derived from 'fogyish' with the suffix '-ness' (from Old English '-nes(s)'), which creates abstract nouns expressing quality or state. A layered formation: fogy → fogyish → fogyishness.
English allows us to stack suffixes like building blocks—'fogyishness' is three layers of word-building (fogy + ish + ness), creating a deeply abstract term for a very specific personality flaw!
