braininess

/bɹˈeɪninəs/ noun

The characteristic of being brainy.

Word Origin From brain + -y (having, characterized by) + -ness — braininess is the quality of being brainy, intelligent. Brain comes from Proto-Germanic bragnam. The -y suffix turns it into an adjective (brainy), and -ness abstracts it. Related: brainless (stupid), brainstorm (a sudden idea), brainwash (to wash the brain, indoctrinate), and brainchild (an idea one has nurtured).
