funkiness

/fˈʌŋkinəs/ noun

The state or quality of being funky.

Word Origin Funk originally meant a strong, earthy smell, possibly from Latin fumus 'smoke' via Old French. The -y suffix makes it an adjective, and -ness a noun: the quality of being funky, now often meaning stylishly unconventional. The same root gives us fume, fumigate, and perfume (through smoke).
