Dulcitude

/ˈdʌlsɪtjuːd/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being sweet, either in taste or in character; sweetness in general.

Etymology

From Latin 'dulcis' (sweet) + the suffix '-tude' (state or condition, as in 'gratitude' and 'magnitude'). This learned word follows the same pattern as other abstract quality nouns.

Kelly Says

Dulcitude is one of those fancy words that sounds exactly like what it means—the double 'l' sound even makes your mouth feel sweet when you say it!
