Etymology
The word stinkiness comes from the simple verb stink, which means 'to give off a bad smell'. The ending -ness turns a verb or adjective into the 'state or quality' of something, just like happiness names the 'state' of being happy, so stinkiness is the condition of having a strong, unpleasant smell.
