artfulness

/ˈɑɹtfəɫnəs/ noun

The quality of being artful or of acting in an artful manner.

Word Origin Artfulness is the quality of being artful — full of art or skill, or sometimes cunning. The suffix -ness turns the adjective into a noun. Like artfully, it comes from art + -ful. The root ars is the same as in art, artist, artifact. The PIE *ar- meant 'to fit together,' so artfulness is the quality of fitting things together well.
