wooliness

/wˈʊlinəs/ noun

Alternative spelling of woolliness.

Word Origin Wool goes back to Old English 'wull' and Proto-Germanic 'wullo', from PIE '*h₂wĺ̥h₁nā', which also gives Latin 'lana' (wool) and Sanskrit 'ūrṇā'. Wooliness is the quality of being woolly — fuzzy, soft, like wool. The suffix -y makes it an adjective, and -ness turns it into a noun. So wooliness is literally 'wool-ness'.
