The quality or state of being benign; kindness, gentleness, and the absence of harmful or dangerous qualities.
From benign (Latin benignus) + -ness noun suffix. This is a more direct English formation compared to benignity, using the native -ness suffix rather than the Romance -ity suffix.
English has both benignity and benignness, which is unusual—most languages would just pick one, but English kept both, allowing writers to choose between a more formal Latin-influenced word or a simpler Germanic one.
