mugginess

/mˈʌɡɪnəs/ noun

The characteristic of being muggy.

Word Origin Mugginess comes from muggy, which is from Old Norse mugga 'mist, drizzle' — that heavy, damp air before rain. It's not related to the drinking mug. The word captures that oppressive humidity. The suffix -y makes it an adjective, and -ness turns it into the noun for the quality.
