Gaudiness

/ˈɡɔːdinəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being showy, colorful, or flashy in a cheap or tasteless way.

Etymology

Noun form of 'gaudy' created with the -ness suffix, which transforms adjectives into abstract nouns describing qualities or states.

Kelly Says

The 'gaudiness' of something is invisible—you can't touch or measure it—yet everyone instantly recognizes it; it's one of those abstract qualities that different cultures judge very differently.
