Everydayness → It is formed from "every" (from Old English "æfre", meaning always) and "day" (from Old English "dæg", meaning a period of 24 hours) combined with the suffix "-ness" (meaning the state or quality of). The word "everydayness" refers to the quality or state of being ordinary or commonplace, as in the daily routine.

Memory Tip
