Etymology of LONGNESSES

The word "longnesses" does not have a specific etymology of its own because it is a combination of two parts: "long" and "nesses".

The word "long" originates from the Old English word "lang", which evolved from Germanic origins. It has had a consistent meaning of "extending a great distance" or "measuring a considerable amount" since ancient times.

The suffix "-nesses" is derived from the Old English suffix "-nes", which was used to form abstract nouns from adjectives. It signifies a state, condition, or quality of being long.

So, when these two parts are combined, "longnesses" becomes a plural form of the noun "longness", which refers to the state or quality of being long.
