delightfulness

/dɪˈɫaɪtfəɫnəs/ noun

The state or quality of being delightful.

Word Origin Delight comes from Latin de- 'completely' and lacere 'to entice' — so to delight someone is to thoroughly lure them in. The -ful and -ness suffixes turn it into the state of being full of that enticement. It's a great example of how a word for 'allure' became our word for pure joy. The same root also gives us delicious and delectable.
