frogginess
Voice sounds hoarse
Frogginess describes a quality resembling frogs or their characteristics.
Most often it refers to a voice that sounds hoarse, croaky, or rough—the way someone sounds with a cold or after waking: There was a frogginess in her voice that wouldn't clear.
Less commonly, it can describe swampy, frog-inhabited environments or an abundance of amphibian life.
