stockiness

/stˈɑkinəs/ noun

The state or quality of being stocky.

Word Origin From stock, originally meaning a tree trunk or stump — something thick and solid. Stocky means 'short and sturdy', like a stump. Stockiness is that quality. The root is Old English stocc, from Proto-Germanic *stukkaz, which also gives us stump and stick. So stockiness is the sturdiness of a tree trunk. Related: stocky, stockily, stump, stumpy.
