Dignifiedness

/ˈdɪɡnɪfaɪdnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being dignified; the presence of dignity, composure, and noble bearing.

Etymology

From 'dignified' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness'. A compound formation showing how English creates abstract nouns from adjectives to name qualities.

Kelly Says

There's something almost poetic about adding '-ness' to '-fied' words—'dignifiedness' itself sounds fancy, like the quality it describes is wrapped in layers of refinement!
