The suffix -ness is added to an adjective to form a noun, doubling an "n" ending, and sometimes changing a "y" ending to "i". Modern usage sometimes creates such words even though a suitable noun already exists. Examples : sudden-suddenness, sweet-sweetness, like-likeness, willing-willingness Example Sentences : * "The grapefruit tasted sweet. He was surprised at its sweetness." * "The forest had a strangeness about it." * "The desert's dryness prevented the growth of mold. * "The old wizard displayed craftiness."
