Pedestrianess

Pedestrian and kindness mashed together, which is like mixing oil and water.

no no, kindness is literally the act of being kind, the ness at the end makes it into the act. apedestrian would be without pedestrianess

Well, my word, apedestrian, is irregular and unique.

 

Pedestrianess is not the act of being a pedestrian, it is how to describe a quality someone has.

apedestrian would mean not pedestrian, as the prefix "a" puts a negative connotation into it. just saying

Not necessarily. The word "apathetic," doesn't mean the opposite of pathetic.

It looks better if the word is longer then "Pedestrian," so I think apedestrian looks good to me.

Apathetic is without emotion for something, the pathetic part isnt from the word from pathetic but apathy. i dont think theres a word for with emotion but apathetic is in the negative

Exactly. Apathetic, is not a negative pathetic, so it's not always the case that adding an "a" at the beginning makes the word negative.

Hmm... That doesn't make any sense at all to me, but sure.

apathy is the opposite of passion, the prefix makes it so. maybe thats better i couldnt come up with the word before

and apathetic comes from the word apathy
