Etymology
Smudginess comes from the simple word smudge, which means 'a dirty mark' or 'smear', plus the ending -ness that makes it a quality or state. So, smudginess is the 'quality of being smudged' — when something looks blurred or has soft stains, like a photo or a page with rubbed pencil marks.
