The quality, state, or degree of being red or having the color red.
From Old English 'read' (red) plus the suffix '-ness,' creating an abstract noun for the quality of color.
The color red appears in human language unusually late—many ancient languages didn't have a separate word for red, grouping it with dark colors. When cultures develop independently, 'red' is always one of the first color words invented!
