grassiness

/ˈɡɹæsinəs/ noun

The characteristic of being grassy.

Word Origin From Old English græs, which goes back to PIE *gʰreh₁- meaning 'to grow, become green.' So grassiness is literally 'the quality of being grassy.' The root is also connected to 'grow' and 'green' — all sharing that idea of growth and verdure. Related words like grassy, grasshopper, grassland, and graze all sprout from the same green root.
