haziness

/hˈeɪzinəs/ noun

The characteristic of being hazy.

Word Origin Haze comes from Old English hasu 'grey, dusky' — so haziness is the quality of being greyish, unclear, like a dusky sky. The -y and -ness suffixes build the noun. The same root gives us hazy and hazily. The PIE root *ḱas- meant 'grey.' So haziness is literally 'grey-ness,' a perfect description for a foggy, indistinct atmosphere.
