If someone is happy, I can refer to that state as that person's happiness.

If a watch is waterproof, do I refer to the watch's waterproofness, waterproofity, or what?

TFD has an entry that fits for happy, but not for waterproof.

I realize resistance is related ("I have a water resistant watch."), but I am curious if there is a word based on waterproof specifically.

In other words, is there a noun form of the adjective waterproof?

Best Answer

Waterproofness as a noun does indeed exist.
