pastiness

/pˈæstinəs/ noun

The condition of being pasty; pallor

Word Origin From Latin pasta 'dough' — pastiness is the quality of being like paste, doughy and pale. The same root gives us pasta, pastel (a paste-based art medium), and toothpaste. The PIE *peh₃- means 'to feed, protect', so paste originally was a mixture of flour and water, a basic food.
