haggardness

/ˈhæɡɝdnəs/ noun

The characteristic of being haggard; tiredness.

Word Origin Haggard originally described a wild, untamed hawk — from Old French hagard. It came to mean 'looking exhausted and unwell' from the gaunt appearance of a wild hawk. Haggardness is the state of looking that way. The -ness suffix makes it a noun. The word might be related to Old English hægtesse 'witch,' suggesting something wild and frightening. Haggardly is the adverb.
