percussiveness

/pɝˈkəsəvnəs/ noun

The state or property of being percussive.

Word Origin Percussiveness comes from percussive, from percussion, from Latin percutere 'to strike through,' from per- 'through' and cutere 'to strike.' So percussion is a striking that resonates through. The same root gives us concussion (striking together), discussion (originally a shaking apart, then an exchange of ideas). Percussiveness is the quality of having a striking impact, like a drumbeat.
