The word "deformedness" is derived from the combination of two other words: "deform" and "-ness".
The root word "deform" comes from the Latin word "deformare" which means "to shape or mold". It also carries the meaning of changing the natural or normal structure or form of something into an abnormal, disfigured, or misshapen state.
The suffix "-ness" is added to the end of the word "deform" to create the noun form, indicating the quality or state of being deformed. "-ness" is a common suffix in English derived from Old English and Old High German, used to form abstract nouns from adjectives or verbs.
