The quality or state of being divine; the nature of being godlike, supernatural, or supremely excellent.
From 'divine' (from Latin 'divinus,' related to 'deus' meaning god) plus '-ness' (a noun-forming suffix). The term has been used in English theology and philosophy since medieval times.
The 'divine' root connects to 'deus' (god) in Latin, which is why 'divineness' captures both 'godliness' and 'supremeness'—calling something 'divinely beautiful' implies it surpasses ordinary human beauty.
