flawlessness

/ˈfɫɔɫəsnəs/ noun

The quality of being flawless

Word Origin Flawlessness comes from flaw, which originally meant a flake or splinter — from Proto-Germanic flagō 'stone slab, flake.' The idea is that a flaw is a small defect, like a crack in a stone. The suffix -less (from lausaz 'devoid of') means 'without,' so flawless is 'without flaws.' Flawlessness is the state of being flawless. The PIE root *pleh₂- meant 'flat, broad,' which also gives us flag (a flat stone) and flake.
