Meanings
- uncountablethe state, quality, or condition of a frog.
Rather than empathy with what I might imagine a snake or frog might feel, I was sufficiently absorbed in snakeness and frogness as to wonder how the humans around me might feel.
1988, Stanislav Grof, The Adventure of Self-Discovery, page 582 more examples
I am obligated to explain frogness at this point, but I will let it go for now, lest we be led into a discussion regarding instinct and into speculations on nature you might have felt lurking in the original question the minute you saw it.
1998, Sondra Horton Fraleigh, Penelope Hanstein, Researching Dance: Evolving Modes of Inquiry, page 198Just as in Roux's case, it takes work to learn to use a frog, and more work still to strip it of its frogness and transform it into a standard organism that works the same as all other species.
2012, Charlotte Sleigh, Frog, page 127
