Commendableness

/kəˈmɛndəbəlnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality of being worthy of praise or approval; the state of deserving commendation.

Etymology

From 'commendable' (worthy of praise) plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness', creating an abstract noun for the quality itself.

Kelly Says

The commendableness of a small act of kindness might rival that of a grand gesture—showing that what makes something praiseworthy isn't always about scale but intention.
