squatness
Stubby, compressed form
Squatness is the quality of being squat—short and wide, close to the ground.
The word describes physical proportions where width dominates height: the squatness of a bulldog, the pleasing squatness of the teapot.
It often suggests solidity or sturdiness rather than elegance.
