Origin of the word rottenness

The word "rottenness" originates from the Old English word "rōten", which means "to rot". This word was derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*rutaniz", which is also the source of the Modern English word "rot". The suffix "-ness" was added to the word "rōten" to form the adjective "rōtenness", meaning "the state of being rotten" or "the quality of being rotten". In Middle English (circa 1100-1500 AD), the word "rōtenness" appeared as "rotteness" and was used to describe the decay or corruption of something, such as food or a decaying object. The word has since undergone changes in spelling and pronunciation, but its meaning has remained relatively consistent. Today, "rottenness" is used to describe the state of being in a state of decay, corruption, or putridity.
