lushness

/ˈɫəʃnəs/ noun

The property of being lush.

Word Origin Lush, meaning rich and abundant, likely comes from Old French losche 'loose, slack' — the idea of vegetation so thick it's almost floppy. Lushness is that quality of luxuriant growth. Interestingly, the word for a drunkard might come from a different root, Late Latin luscus 'one-eyed', suggesting a squinting drunk.
