hilliness

/ˈhɪɫɪnəs/ noun

The property of being hilly or having hills.

Word Origin From Old English hyll, which goes back to Proto-Germanic *hullaz and PIE *kel- 'to rise, be prominent.' Hilliness is the quality of being hilly — literally 'full of hills.' The same root *kel- gives us column, culminate, and even excel (to rise above). So hilliness is a landscape that excels at being bumpy.
