putridness
State of rotting
Putridness is the state of being putrid—decomposed, rotten, and foul-smelling.
The word describes the quality of organic matter in decay: The putridness of the garbage made us gag.
It extends to anything thoroughly corrupt or disgusting: the putridness of the whole political arrangement.
