Frothiness

/ˈfrɔðinəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being frothy; the presence of froth, foam, or bubbles, or the characteristic of being insubstantial or frivolous.

Etymology

From 'frothy' plus the noun suffix '-ness,' which converts adjectives to abstract nouns describing qualities or states.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-ness' is incredibly productive in English—you can theoretically add it to almost any adjective to create a noun, which gives English speakers creative flexibility in describing qualities.
