Etymology: "Cragginesses" is the plural of "cragginess," which comes from the adjective "craggy" plus the suffix "-ness," the Old English "-nes" that turns adjectives into nouns of quality or state. "Craggy" itself is "crag" with the adjective suffix "-y," which Middle English inherited from Old English "-iġ."
