Funkiness

/ˈfʌŋkinəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being funky, whether referring to a stale musty smell or a cool groovy musical style.

Etymology

From 'funky' plus the abstract noun suffix -ness, which turns adjectives into nouns describing their quality or degree.

Kelly Says

The -ness suffix is one of English's most productive tools for noun creation—you can add it to almost any adjective and instantly create a new word for that quality!
