The word "guiltinesses" is formed by adding the suffix "-nesses" to the noun "guiltiness".
The noun "guiltiness" is derived from the adjective "guilty", which ultimately traces its origins back to the Old English term "gyltig". This Old English word was formed by combining "gylt" (meaning offense or sin) with the suffix "-ig" (which signifies having the quality of something). Over time, "gyltig" transformed into "gilty" in Middle English, and later evolved to the modern spelling "guilty" in contemporary English.
By adding the suffix "-ness", which is used to form abstract nouns indicating a state or condition, "guiltiness" is transformed into a noun representing the state or quality of being guilty.
