Standard noun formation from the adjective 'gritty' indicating a quality or state.
Etymology
Grittiness comes from the short word grit, which meant 'sand' or small stones and then described things that feel rough. So a novel or film with grittiness feels raw and unpolished, like walking on a rough, sandy street, and this explains its tough, realistic tone.
