Assumingness

/əˈsuː.mɪŋ.nəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being assuming; arrogant or presumptuous behavior that takes things for granted without justification.

Etymology

From 'assuming' (adjective meaning arrogant) plus '-ness,' a suffix that creates abstract nouns denoting qualities or states. This follows the pattern of 'happiness,' 'kindness,' 'boldness,' etc. It names the characteristic itself rather than an instance of it.

Kelly Says

Psychology research on 'assumingness' reveals something odd: people who rate themselves as less assuming tend to be *more* assuming (the Dunning-Kruger effect)—the quality is almost invisible to those who possess it, which is why we need a word to name something people rarely recognize in themselves!
