Fanciness

/ˈfænsinəs/ noun

Definition

The quality of being fancy; the degree of stylishness, elaborateness, or decorative ornamentation something possesses.

Etymology

From the adjective 'fancy' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness.' This creates an abstract noun that captures the quality of being elaborate and stylish.

Kelly Says

Every adjective in English can become a noun by adding '-ness'—happiness, darkness, fakeness—and we created 'fanciness' to talk about the abstract idea of being fancy, not just fancy objects!
