Grandity

/ɡrænˈdɪti/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being grand; grandeur, magnificence, or impressive scale.

Etymology

Formed from 'grand' plus the suffix '-ity' (quality or condition), following the standard English pattern for creating abstract nouns from adjectives. This is a rare variant of 'grandeur.'

Kelly Says

English speakers created 'grandity' as an abstract noun for 'grand,' but 'grandeur' (borrowed from French) was more poetic and won out—'grandity' is so rare that most spell-checkers don't recognize it!
