Definition
The quality or state of being grubby; the presence of dirt, filth, or uncleanliness.
Etymology
From 'grubby' (adjective) + -ness (noun suffix creating abstract nouns), a productive pattern in English for naming qualities or states of being.
Kelly Says
The -ness suffix is Old English, and it's so ancient that nearly every adjective can take it—'grubbiness' shows how English builds infinite abstract concepts from simple roots!
