The quality or condition of being like a gourd in shape, appearance, or texture; roundness or bulbousness.
From 'gourd' (from Latin 'cucurbita,' a type of squash plant) plus '-iness' (the suffix creating an abstract noun from adjectives). A relatively modern coinage using standard word-formation rules.
Gourdiness is a delightfully specific word for a characteristic most of us experience but never name—that satisfying roundness and solidity of a pumpkin or winter squash that humans find weirdly comforting.
