oval +‎ -ness

Noun

ovalness (uncountable)

  1. The quality of being oval.
    • 1841, Lucy Lyttelton Cameron, Englishwomen in past and present times, page 138:
      Transitory as was this glance, I observed a slightness in her figure, an ovalness in her face, and a vermillion tinge in her cheek, so unlike the round and rosy full-blown look of health which had so well become her when she sung lullaby to her doll on the hay.
