Morphology

rolypoliness = roly-poly (transparent) = roly-poly + ness

The suffix '-ness' transparently forms a noun indicating a state or quality from the adjective 'roly-poly'.

Etymology

Rolypoliness comes from the playful phrase roly-poly, which is built on the simple word roll meaning 'to move by turning over'. So rolypoliness names the quality of being pleasantly round and a little able to 'roll', which is why it feels cute and huggable.
