Definition
The quality or state of being growly, grumpy, or making growling sounds.
Etymology
From 'growly' plus '-ness,' an Old English suffix meaning a state or quality. This creates an abstract noun describing a characteristic.
Kelly Says
Adding '-ness' to adjectives is one of the most productive word-building tools in English—we can make 'growliness' from 'growly,' and it immediately becomes a measurable quality, like 'Does your dog's growliness increase before storms?'
