Etymology[edit]

roughish +‎ -ness

Noun[edit]

roughishness (uncountable)

  1. Slight roughness.
    • 1778, William Lewis, The New Dispensatory, page 91:
      The sensible qualities of argentina promise no great virtue of this kind; for to the taste it discovers only a slight roughishness, from whence it may be presumed to be entitled to a place only among the milder corroborants.
