genialness

/ˈdʒinjəɫnəs/ noun

The quality of being genial; geniality.

Word Origin From Latin genialis 'festive, nuptial,' from genius 'the spirit of generation, the life-force.' Genial originally meant 'pertaining to marriage and procreation,' so it had a sense of life and cheer. Genialness is that warm, life-affirming quality. The root genius is related to gene, generate, generation, and genesis. The PIE root *gene- 'to give birth' is the source of many words about life and kind. So genialness is literally 'life-fullness.'
