creaminess

/kɹˈiminəs/ noun

The state of being creamy.

Word Origin Creaminess is the quality of being creamy — rich and smooth like cream. The word cream comes from Late Latin cramum, which may be of Gaulish origin. The -y suffix makes it an adjective, and -ness turns it into a noun. So it's literally 'cream-like-ness.' The same root gives us creamery and the delicious ice cream.
