chunkiness

/tʃˈʌŋkinəs/ noun

the state of being chunky

Word Origin Chunkiness is the quality of being chunky — full of chunks. The word chunk appeared in English around the 17th century, possibly a variant of chuck 'a cut of meat.' The -y and -ness suffixes do the work: chunk + y (having chunks) + ness (state). It's a satisfyingly solid word for something lumpy and substantial.
