The word "curledness" is formed by combining the base word "curl" with the suffix "-ed" and the noun-forming suffix "-ness".
The term "curl" derives from the Middle English word "crullen", which was influenced by the Middle Low German word "krūs" and the Middle Dutch word "krul". These Germanic roots can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "krus-", meaning "curl" or "twisted".
The suffix "-ed" is a common inflectional suffix used to form the past tense or past participle of regular verbs in English. In this case, it is applied to the verb "curl" to form the adjective "curled".
Lastly, the suffix "-ness" is added to the adjective "curled" to create the noun "curledness". It is used to denote a state or quality.
