Frequentness

/ˈfrɪ.kwənt.nəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or condition of being frequent; how often something happens or how regularly something occurs.

Etymology

From frequent (adjective) + -ness suffix, a productive English suffix for forming abstract nouns from adjectives.

Kelly Says

Though grammatically correct, 'frequentness' is rarely used because English speakers prefer 'frequency'—it's a reminder that just because you can add -ness to adjectives doesn't mean speakers will actually adopt the word.
