Exaltedness

/ɪɡˈzɔːltɪdnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being exalted; the condition of being elevated in rank, dignity, or emotional state.

Etymology

From exalted + -ness suffix (forming nouns from adjectives). This nominalization allows abstract qualities of exaltation to be discussed as a thing itself.

Kelly Says

The -ness suffix is one of the most productive word-building tools in English—you can almost stick it on any adjective and boom, you've got a noun describing that quality, which is why English has thousands of -ness words!
