creativeness

/kɹiˈeɪtɪvnəs/ noun

The state of being creative; creativity.

Word Origin From Latin 'creare' meaning 'to make, grow' — the same root that gives us 'creature' (something grown) and 'procreate' (to make forward). The breakdown create+ive+ness shows the adjective 'creative' plus the noun suffix '-ness', so creativeness is literally the quality of being able to make or grow things. The PIE root *ker- also appears in 'cereal' (grain that grows) — a great example of how creation and growth are linked.
