Definition
Plural of benignity; multiple instances or examples of kindness, gentleness, or the quality of being harmless and non-threatening.
Etymology
From benignity (from Latin benignus 'kind, gracious') + -ies plural suffix. The Latin root bene- means 'well' and -ignus relates to 'born' or 'nature,' suggesting someone born to be good.
Kelly Says
The word benignity became especially important in medieval medicine when doctors tried to classify diseases as either benign (harmless) or malignant (harmful)—a distinction that literally saved lives by helping them decide which conditions needed aggressive treatment.
