divineness

/dɪˈvaɪnnəs/ noun

The quality of being divine; divinity.

Word Origin 'Divine' comes from Latin 'divinus', from 'deus' (god). So 'divineness' is the quality of being god-like. The same root gives us 'divinity', 'divination', 'deify' (to make a god), and 'deism'. The PIE root *dyew- 'sky, god' also gives us 'Zeus' and 'Jupiter'. The suffix '-ness' turns the adjective into a noun.
