Definition
The quality or state of being glorious; magnificence, splendor, or the degree to which something exhibits glory.
Etymology
From Latin 'gloriosus' (glorious) plus the suffix '-ity,' which creates abstract nouns expressing qualities or states. This learned word follows the pattern of creating abstract nouns from adjectives.
Kelly Says
This pompous word appears mostly in flowery 19th-century literature and poetry—Victorian writers loved 'gloriosity' because it sounded simultaneously grand and a bit ridiculous, perfect for satire.
