Gushingness

/ˈɡʌʃɪŋnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality of gushing; the state or condition of flowing forth abundantly or expressing emotion excessively.

Etymology

From gushing (present participle of gush) plus abstract noun suffix '-ness', creating a noun form of the action itself.

Kelly Says

When English speakers add '-ness' to gerunds (verbs used as nouns), they create abstract nouns about actions—'gushingness' captures the essence of the gushing process itself, distinct from just being 'gushy.'
