The quality or state of being dove-like; gentleness, peacefulness, or innocence.
From 'dove-like' plus the abstract noun suffix '-ness,' which turns adjectives into nouns representing their quality. This follows the standard English pattern seen in 'gentleness' and 'kindness'.
This noun form lets poets and writers talk about dove-like qualities as an actual thing you can possess—like when they describe someone's 'dovelikeness' as their most attractive feature.
