Etymology of SICKLINESSES

The word "sicklinesses" is derived from the root word "sickly" and the suffix "-ness".

The term "sickly" comes from the Old English word "seoclic", which meant "afflicted with sickness" or "feeble". It is a combination of the Old English words "seoc", meaning "sick" or "ill", and "lic", which denoted similarity or characteristic.

The suffix "-ness" is used to form abstract nouns indicating a state, quality, or condition. It is derived from Middle English and Old English "-nes", originally derived from the Old English "nis", meaning "state" or "condition".

Therefore, combining "sickly" with the suffix "-ness" forms "sickliness", which refers to the state or condition of being sickly.
