Etymology of LONENESSES

The word "lonenesses" is formed by adding the suffix "-ness" to the adjective "lonely".

The adjective "lonely" originated from the Old English word "anlian", which meant "to make solitary" or "to cause to be alone". Over time, it evolved into "anlic" in Middle English, which meant "solitary" or "retired". Eventually, it transformed into "lonely" in Modern English.

The suffix "-ness" is derived from the Old English word "-nes", which denoted a state or quality. It has been used in English since the 13th century to convert adjectives into nouns representing a state or condition.
