goodliness

/ˈɡʊdɫɪnəs/ noun B1

excellence

Word Origin 'Good' from Old English 'gōd,' from PIE *ghedh- meaning 'to unite, fit' — so good originally meant 'fitting, suitable,' a surprising connection. The suffix '-ly' makes it 'goodly' (of good appearance, considerable), and '-ness' makes it a noun: the quality of being goodly. The same root gives us 'goodness,' 'goodwill,' and 'gather' (to bring together, fit). The PIE root also gave us 'together' (to the good, fitting). So goodliness is the state of being fitting, excellent.
