Furiousness

/ˈfjʊriəsnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being furious; extreme anger, wild passion, or violent intensity.

Etymology

From furious + standard English suffix '-ness' (quality of state). This is the standard, modern way to nominalize 'furious' in contemporary English.

Kelly Says

The '-ness' suffix is English's most reliable tool for turning adjectives into nouns, and 'furiousness' is the proper way to express this idea, though 'fury' itself is shorter and more poetic.
