Word Nuance & Usage

In standard modern English, the derived noun 'strength' is almost universally preferred over 'strongness'. 'Strongness' is now rare and typically restricted to informal, poetic, or specialized contexts where a speaker wishes to emphasize the literal quality of an adjective sense (such as the strongness of a flavor or odor) rather than physical power.
