Heroicness

/hɪˈroʊɪknəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being heroic; courageous and noble character or action.

Etymology

From heroic plus -ness, formed directly from the modern short adjective rather than from heroical.

Kelly Says

Both heroicness and heroicism exist in English, but heroism dominates—it's like having three siblings all trying to do the same job, and one gets all the attention.
