Pleasantness or agreeableness of manner or behavior; courtesy in demeanor.
From Middle French 'amenité,' derived from Latin 'amoenitas' (pleasantness, agreeableness). The word originally described the quality of being pleasant or agreeable to be around.
Amenance is an old-fashioned word for what we'd now call 'charm' or 'pleasantness'—it specifically means the agreeableness in how someone treats you. It emphasizes both genuine kindness and refined social grace.
