tightness

Tightness is a feeling or state of being very firm and not loose. It can also describe something that doesn't have any gaps or openings.

When we talk about tightness, it's often used to describe physical sensations or conditions. For example, if you've been exercising too much and your muscles feel stiff and hard to move, you might say you have a bad case of tightness in your shoulders or legs. It can also be used to describe the fit of clothes, like saying jeans are very tight or that a bandage is too tight around an injury.
