feverishness

/ˈfivəɹəʃnəs/ noun

The quality of being feverish.

Word Origin Feverishness comes from Latin febris 'fever,' which is from PIE *dhegh- 'to burn.' The suffix -ish means 'having the quality of,' so feverish means 'like a fever, hot and restless.' Feverishness is the state of being feverish. The same root *dhegh- gives us day (the burning sun) and possibly burn. So feverishness is literally 'the condition of burning heat.'
