balminess

/bˈɑminəs/ noun

The characteristic of being balmy.

Word Origin From balm (aromatic healing ointment) + -y + -ness — balminess is the quality of being balmy, soothing and fragrant. Balm comes from Latin balsamum, ultimately from Semitic basam 'spice, perfume.' The same root gives us balsam (the resin) and embalm (to preserve with balm). So balminess evokes a gentle, healing atmosphere.
