The word "pointednesses" is derived from the base word "pointed" by adding the suffix "-nesses" to it.

The base word "pointed" comes from the Old French word "point", meaning "sharp end" or "tip", which can be traced back to the Latin word "punctum", meaning "a point".

The suffix "-nesses" is a plural form of the suffix "-ness", which is used to form abstract nouns indicating a quality or state. So, by combining the base word "pointed" with the suffix "-nesses", we get "pointednesses", meaning the qualities or states of being pointed.
