Definition
The quality or state of being gutsy; the degree to which someone shows courage and boldness.
Etymology
From 'gutsy' plus the abstract noun suffix '-ness.' Creates a noun form allowing courage rooted in 'guts' to be discussed as a measurable quality.
Kelly Says
English created a whole constellation of words around 'guts'—gutsy, gutsier, gutsiest, gutsily, gutsiness—turning an anatomical term into a complete vocabulary for discussing moral character, which linguists call 'semantic elevation.'
