aliveness

/əˈlaɪvnəs/ noun

The state of being alive; exuberance, intensity.

Word Origin Aliveness comes from alive, which is built from Old English on life 'in life' — the a- prefix is a reduced form of 'on.' So aliveness is the state of being in life. The same a- prefix appears in asleep (on sleep), awake (on wake), and afoot (on foot). It's a great example of how a simple preposition became a prefix.
