Etymology
Somethingness is made from some ('a certain' or 'not specific'), thing ('object' or 'something'), and the ending -ness that turns words into a 'state' or 'quality'. So somethingness means the 'presence' or 'quality of being something', the feeling or nature that makes something real or noticeable.
