The quality or state of being gleesome; joyfulness and merriment.
Noun form created from 'gleesome' by adding '-ness' (Old English '-nes' meaning 'state or quality of'). The suffix '-ness' is one of the most productive in English for converting adjectives to abstract nouns.
English's '-ness' suffix is so powerful that we can almost automatically convert any adjective into a noun describing that quality—'happy' becomes 'happiness,' 'sad' becomes 'sadness,' 'gleesome' becomes 'gleesomeness.' It's like a built-in recipe for creating abstract concepts!
