sponginess

/spˈʌndʒinəs/ noun

The property of being spongy.

Word Origin Sponginess comes from Greek spongos, meaning 'sponge' — that absorbent sea creature. The adjective spongy describes something soft and porous like a sponge, and sponginess is that quality. The word also gives us spongecake (a light, airy cake) and the verb sponge (to absorb or freeload). So sponginess is all about that squishy, absorbent texture.
