auspiciousness

/ɑˈspɪʃəsnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being auspicious or successful.

Word Origin From Latin avis 'bird' and specere 'to look' — auspicious originally meant 'bird-watching,' because ancient Romans predicted the future by observing birds. An auspex was a bird-diviner. The root spec- gives us inspect, spectator, spectacle. Auspiciousness is the noun form: the quality of being favorable, as if the birds gave a good omen. The PIE root *speḱ- 'to observe' also gives us spy and scope.

noun The state or quality of being auspicious or successful. countable
