bushiness

/bˈʊʃinəs/ noun

The characteristic of being bushy.

Word Origin From Proto-Germanic 'buskaz', a bush or thicket, and the PIE root *bheu- that also gives us 'be' and 'build' — things that grow. The adjective 'bushy' plus -ness gives the state of being thick and spreading like a shrub. So bushiness is the quality of being bushy, overgrown, you can almost see the tangled thicket.
