darlingness

/ˈdɑɹɫɪŋnəs/ noun

The quality of being darling, or adorable.

Word Origin Darling comes from Old English 'deorling,' a combination of 'deore' (precious, beloved) and the diminutive suffix -ling — so a darling is literally a 'little precious one.' The root goes back to Proto-Germanic 'deurjaz,' meaning costly or beloved. Darlingness is the quality of being that cherished little thing, and you can see the same root in dear, endear, and endearment.
