Gorgeousness

/ˈɡɔrdʒəsnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being gorgeous; striking beauty, magnificence, or visual splendor.

Etymology

From the adjective 'gorgeous' plus the abstract noun suffix '-ness', creating a noun that describes the state or quality of being gorgeous.

Kelly Says

The '-ness' suffix is English's workhorse for turning feelings and qualities into countable things—'gorgeousness' lets you treat beauty as a concept you can point to and discuss, which is why this pattern appears in thousands of English abstract nouns.
