Greynesses

/ˈɡreɪnəsɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of greyness; multiple instances or types of the quality of being grey.

Etymology

The plural of greyness, formed by adding -es, though this word is rarely used in plural form since greyness is typically an uncountable quality.

Kelly Says

Though rarely used, 'greynesses' would refer to different kinds of grayness—like the greyness of stone differs from the greyness of fog—showing how English allows us to count even uncountable things when we're being poetic.
