muckiness
Condition of dirtiness
Muckiness is the quality or state of being mucky—dirty, muddy, or covered in filth.
It describes both literal conditions, like the muckiness of a barnyard after rain, and figurative ones, like the muckiness of political scandals or tabloid journalism.
The muckiness of the trail made hiking miserable.
