wornness

/ˈwɔɹnnəs/ noun

The quality of being worn.

Word Origin Wornness comes from worn, the past participle of wear, plus the noun suffix -ness. Wear traces back to Proto-Germanic werjaną 'to clothe,' and the PIE root *wes- also gives us vest, vestment, and invest (literally 'to clothe oneself' with authority). So wornness is the quality of being worn out, like a favorite sweater that's seen better days.
