Froghood

/ˈfrɒɡhʊd/ noun

Definition

The state or condition of being a frog; the frog's experience or stage of life as a mature amphibian.

Etymology

From 'frog' plus the suffix '-hood' (as in 'childhood,' 'adulthood'), creating an abstract noun for a state of being.

Kelly Says

Froghood is actually interesting linguistically because it separates the tadpole stage from froghood—suggesting that becoming a true frog requires reaching a specific maturity threshold!
