Goodishness

/ˈɡʊdɪʃnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality of being moderately or fairly good; a state of being somewhat above average.

Etymology

From 'goodish' (moderately good) plus '-ness' (suffix creating abstract nouns). This word extends the 'good' word family further by nominalizing the hedged adjective.

Kelly Says

Adding '-ness' to 'goodish' might seem silly, but it shows how flexible English is—we can keep stacking suffixes to create increasingly specific emotional descriptions!
