gushiness

/ɡˈʌʃinəs/ noun

The property of being gushy.

Word Origin Gushiness comes from the Old Norse verb gusa 'to gush, spout,' which also gives us geyser (a spouting hot spring). The -y suffix makes it an adjective (gushy), and -ness turns it into a noun. So gushiness is the state of being emotionally spouty — overflowing with sentiment.
