Hamperedness

Etymology

From hampered + -ness (suffix forming abstract nouns). A constructed noun following standard English word-building patterns.

Kelly Says

Abstract nouns like 'hamperedness' exist in the grammar of English but rarely appear in actual writing—they're theoretically possible but impractical, since we'd usually say 'the fact that it was hampered' rather than nominalize it into 'its hamperedness.'
